A planning department runs overnight GIS tile-generation jobs that can restart from checkpoints if a worker stops. Which compute choice best reduces cost?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
GIS overnight jobs that can pick up where they left off are Spot's sweet spot—cheap capacity with the occasional tap on the shoulder. Checkpoint, resume, and stop paying On-Demand rates for batch crunching.
Full Explanation
Spot Instances offer discounted capacity that AWS can reclaim with interruption notices. Fault-tolerant batch GIS work with checkpoints fits Spot (directly or via AWS Batch/ECS capacity providers). DynamoDB capacity does not replace compute for tile rendering, and Outposts is for on-premises/locality needs, not default overnight batch savings.
