Question

A company is developing an application that will run on a production Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) cluster. The EKS cluster has managed node groups that are provisioned with On-Demand Instances. The company needs a dedicated EKS cluster for development work. The company will use the development cluster infrequently to test the resiliency of the application. The EKS cluster must manage all the nodes. Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A. The correct answer is A. Option A: Create a managed node group that contains only Spot Instances. Spot Instances use spare capacity at a large discount, ideal for fault-tolerant or interruptible workloads. This option delivers the requirement at the lowest cost.
