I think it should be B and D. Based on https://www.amazonaws.cn/en/ec2/

B technically isn’t an advantage. You can implement Audit logging (Win Event Viewer etc.), Identity and Access Management on prem (Active Directory) and also on-prem networks are already behind a firewall protecting from public internet traffic which VPC offers but in the cloud. C and D are the right answers imo

C isn't true. The only AWS service with a 100% uptime SLA is route 53. EC2 is around 99.99% to 99.5%. https://aws.amazon.com/compute/sla/ I do think that native integrations between EC2 and the various AWS services like cloudtrail/VPC/IAM is an advantage over on-prem solutions which tend to be more piecemeal. While I agree that VPC and IAM there may be equivalent to on-prem solutions, you cannot track API calls on your on-prem like you would via CloudTrail. As for Option E of automatic cost optimization for storage cost. I do not believe that instance store scales up (vertical scaling) automatically. ASGs only spin up more instances of the same type. EBS does not scale and you pay for what is provisioned whether you use or not.

BD as EC2 doesn't have any storage cost optimization options, only S3 has: https://aws.amazon.com/s3/cost-optimization/

according to this.... EC2 does have optimized storage https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/

I think 'storage optimized instance' is not meaning that can automatic optimize storage itself. 🤣

For me it was 100% B but a toss up between D and E. I don't think EC2 has automatic storage optimisation so I chose B and D

The advantages of using Amazon EC2 instances to host applications in the AWS Cloud instead of on-premises are: B. EC2 integrates with Amazon VPC, AWS CloudTrail, and AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). D. EC2 has a flexible, pay-as-you-go pricing model. Explanation: A. EC2 does not include operating system patch management by default. This responsibility falls on the user to manage. C. EC2 does not have a 100% service level agreement (SLA). While AWS guarantees a certain level of availability for EC2 instances, it's not 100%. E. EC2 does not have automatic storage cost optimization. Users are responsible for managing and optimizing their storage resources.

B. EC2 integrates with Amazon VPC, AWS CloudTrail, and AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM): Amazon EC2 instances seamlessly integrate with various AWS services such as Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), AWS CloudTrail for auditing, and AWS IAM for identity and access management. This integration simplifies network configuration, monitoring, and security management. D. EC2 has a flexible, pay-as-you-go pricing model: Amazon EC2 offers a flexible pricing model that allows you to pay only for the compute capacity you actually use. This pay-as-you-go pricing model eliminates the need for upfront hardware investments and provides cost efficiency and scalability as your application's requirements change.

EC2 integrates with Amazon VPC, AWS CloudTrail, and AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM): Amazon VPC allows you to create a virtual network in the AWS Cloud that is isolated from the public internet. AWS CloudTrail records all AWS API calls made to your account, and AWS IAM allows you to control who has access to your AWS resources. These features can help you improve the security of your applications. EC2 has a flexible, pay-as-you-go pricing model: You only pay for the EC2 instances that you use, and you can scale your usage up or down as needed. This can help you save money on your AWS costs.

A is completely wrong answer. AWS never interfere in Customer's data, managing OS, patching.AWS is responsible for managing the underlying hardware.
