SAP-C02Domain 3: Continuous Improvement for Existing SolutionsArchitecture OptimizationmediumSingle choice
An org with consolidated billing wants compute savings that float automatically across all accounts, instance families, sizes, and even Fargate/Lambda. Which commitment type?
A.Standard Reserved Instances
Standard RIs lock to family + region — least flexible.
B.Compute Savings Plans
Broadest compute coverage = Compute SP. Correct.
C.EC2 Instance Savings Plans
EC2 SP covers only EC2 in a chosen family.
D.Spot blocks
Spot is interruptible capacity — not a commitment.
Why this answer
Compute Savings Plans = $/hour commitment applied automatically to EC2 (any family/size/region/OS), Fargate, and Lambda — max flexibility under consolidated billing sharing. EC2 Instance SP and Standard RIs lock to instance families.
