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?

A.
Create a managed node group that contains only Spot Instances.
Answers
A.
Create a managed node group that contains only Spot Instances.

Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

Spot Instances are EC2 instances that are available at up to a 90% discount compared to On-Demand prices. Spot Instances are suitable for stateless, fault-tolerant, and flexible workloads that can tolerate interruptions. Spot Instances can be reclaimed by EC2 when the demand for On-Demand capacity increases, but they provide a two-minute warning before termination. EKS managed node groups automate the provisioning and lifecycle management of nodes for EKS clusters. Managed node groups can use Spot Instances to reduce costs and scale the cluster based on demand. Managed node groups also support features such as Capacity Rebalancing and Capacity Optimized allocation strategy to improve the availability and resilience of Spot Instances. This solution will meet the requirements most cost-effectively, as it leverages the lowest-priced EC2 capacity and does not require any manual intervention.

1 explains how to create and use managed node groups with EKS.

2 describes how to use Spot Instances with managed node groups.

3 provides an overview of Spot Instances and their benefits.
