B. Dedicated Hosts. Dedicated Hosts – Pay for a physical host that is fully dedicated to running your instances, and bring your existing per-socket, per-core, or per-VM software licenses to reduce costs.

B. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/mt/simplified-byol-experience-using-aws-license-manager/ Amazon EC2 Dedicated Hosts allow you to use your existing per-socket, per-core, or per-VM software licenses that are bound to VMs, sockets, or physical cores, subject to your license terms.

Dedicated Hosts provide physical servers with EC2 instance capacity fully dedicated to your use, which is necessary for per-core software licenses

Dedicated Hosts allow you to use your existing per-socket, per-core, or per-VM software licenses, including Windows Server, SQL Server, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, or other software licenses that are bound to VMs, sockets, or physical cores, subject to your license terms.

An important difference between a Dedicated Host and a Dedicated instance is that a Dedicated Host gives you additional visibility and control over how instances are placed on a physical server, and you can consistently deploy your instances to the same physical server over time. As a result, Dedicated Hosts enable you to use your existing server-bound software licenses and address corporate compliance and regulatory requirements. So ans isB.

Should be B, because dedicated hosts are for companies/users with a license

When a company owns per-core software licenses, the appropriate Amazon EC2 instance purchasing option is Dedicated Hosts. With Dedicated Hosts, the company has the ability to launch instances on physical servers dedicated exclusively to their use. This provides control and visibility over the underlying hardware and allows them to bring their own per-core software licenses.

Dedicated Hosts. https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/dedicated-hosts/ Dedicated Hosts allow you to use your existing per-socket, per-core, or per-VM software licenses, including Windows Server, SQL Server, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, or other software licenses that are bound to VMs, sockets, or physical cores, subject to your license terms.

B. Dedicated Hosts

B, Dedicated Host not a instance. REF. : https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/mt/simplified-byol-experience-using-aws-license-manager/ ==>>Amazon EC2 Dedicated Hosts allow you to use your existing per-socket, per-core, or per-VM software licenses that are bound to VMs, sockets, or physical cores, subject to your license terms.

what is right

The Amazon EC2 instance purchasing option that the company must use for per-core software licenses is Dedicated Hosts (Option B). Dedicated Hosts provide physical servers dedicated to a customer's use. This allows the customer to use their existing server-bound software licenses without any additional licensing costs, as long as the licenses are compliant with the rules of the specific software vendor.

A - no. good for a long-term commitment B - yes. exclusive control over your environment C - no. good for workloads that are flexible in terms of timing and availability D - no. not the same level of control as dedicated hosts
