Question
A company's expense tracking application gives users the ability to upload images of receipts. The application analyzes the receipts to extract information and stores the raw images in Amazon S3. The application is written in Java and runs on Amazon EC2 On-Demand Instances in an Auto Scaling group behind an Application Load Balancer. The compute costs and storage costs have increased with the popularity of the application. Which solution will provide the MOST cost savings without affecting application performance?
Options
- APurchase a Compute Savings Plan for the maximum number of necessary EC2 instances. Store
- BDecrease the minimum number of EC2 instances in the Auto Scaling group. Use On-Demand
- CDecrease the maximum number of EC2 instances in the Auto Scaling group. Set up S3 Lifecycle
- DPurchase a Compute Savings Plan for the minimum number of necessary EC2 instances. Use

Explanation
Purchasing a Compute Savings Plan for the minimum baseline usage ensures cost savings. Using On-Demand Instances for peak times ensures flexibility without over-provisioning. S3 Lifecycle policies enable automatic transition of objects to lower-cost storage classes such as S3 Glacier orS3 Intelligent-Tiering, further reducing storage costs.
