Worth 12% of the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) exam. CertClue has 162 questions on this objective.
What this objective covers
Support plans and where to get help
Support is priced as a percentage of monthly usage with a minimum, so it scales with the estate rather than with how often you ask. Cases are never charged individually, so there is no reason to ration them.
Exam tip. Support cost scales with SPEND, not with cases. Raising a case early costs nothing and is usually the right move.
Pricing models and what actually drives the bill
AWS prices most services on pay as you go, with discounts for commitment. Understanding what each service charges for matters more than remembering rates, because the surprises come from dimensions people forget.
Exam tip. Right-size first, then commit. A three-year commitment bought at the current size locks in the over-provisioning for three years.

1. Which TWO purchasing options best fit this workload? (Choose two.)
A. Dedicated Hosts
B. On-Demand Instances
C. Compute Savings Plans, three year, all upfrontcorrect
D. Reserved Instances, three year, standard
E. Spot Instances
A steady, long-running workload is the case commitment pricing exists for: both Savings Plans and Reserved Instances trade a one or three year commitment for a substantial discount off On-Demand. Spot is cheaper per hour but AWS can reclaim the capacity at two minutes' notice, which is wrong for an always-on database. On-Demand carries no discount at all, and Dedicated Hosts add cost for physical isolation this workload has not asked for.
