CLF-C02 Question #233: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

A new AWS user needs to interact with AWS Support by using API calls. Which AWS Support plan will meet this requirement MOST cost-effectively?

Options

• AAWS Basic Support
• BAWS Developer Support
• CAWS Business Support
• DAWS Enterprise Support

Explanation

AWS Support Plans & API Access

AWS Developer Support is the most cost-effective plan that includes access to AWS Support via the Support API (AWS Support Center API), making it the minimum plan required to programmatically interact with AWS Support cases. This allows users to create, manage, and resolve support cases through API calls rather than only through the console.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Basic Support): While free, Basic Support does not include Support API access - it only offers documentation, forums, and basic Trusted Advisor checks.
• C (Business Support): Although Business Support does include API access, it is significantly more expensive (starting at $100/month or 10% of monthly usage), making it not the most cost-effective option when Developer Support meets the requirement.
• D (Enterprise Support): Enterprise Support also includes API access but starts at $15,000/month, making it the least cost-effective option for this use case.

💡 Memory Tip: Think of it as a "Door" - Developer Support is the first Door that opens up API access. Anything below it (Basic) keeps the API door locked, and anything above it costs significantly more.
