A workload runs only during business hours on weekdays. Which cloud-cost optimization technique pairs BEST with that pattern?
ARun the workload from a Reserved Instance under a 10-year commitment
BPermanently reserve 24×7 capacity at the highest tier
CSchedule the workload to scale down or stop outside business hours (start-stop automation)
DManually power off all VMs every December
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Schedule the workload to scale down or stop outside business hours (start-stop automation)
Schedule-based start-stop directly matches a predictable usage curve and saves the night-and-weekend hours from billing. Permanent reservation defeats elasticity; 10-year locks aren't a thing; annual December shutdowns ignore the daily cycle.
