Hi,
I'm in preparation for AWS cloud practitioner exam, so I'm very grateful for your compilation of practice exams, that rocks. Thanks!
One anwsers left me wondering if it was the right one, though:

Question 43

A company is expecting a short-term spike in internet traffic for its application. During the traffic increase, the application cannot be interrupted. The company also needs to minimize cost and maximize flexibility.
Which Amazon EC2 instance type should the company use to meet these requirements?
A. On-Demand Instances
B. Spot Instances
C. Reserved Instances
D. Dedicated Hosts

Your anwser is B (Spot Instances), mine was A. My reasoning was the statement that "the application cannot be interrupted", which you cannot guarantee with Spot Instances, they can be terminated at any time. Of course, choosing On-Demand counters the "minimize cost" part, but from my point of view, application continuity trumps that. What are your thoughts?

Thank you for commenting.

For a short-term spike in internet traffic where the application cannot be interrupted, while also aiming to minimize costs and maximize flexibility, the most suitable Amazon EC2 instance type would be B. Spot Instances.

So, the correct answer depends on whether the company prioritizes minimizing cost and is willing to tolerate potential interruptions (Spot Instances) or if they need guaranteed availability without interruptions (On-Demand Instances).

Good luck with your Cloud Practitioner studies!

I think the question might be a bit ambiguous then, as not all requirements can be fully satisfied in any of the answers, but the answer is nevertheless given as B.

Thanks for the work on these practice tests! Helping me out a lot ❤️

It says cannot be interrupted, so potential interruption should also be avoided. I also think A is correct rather than a spot instance.
