Question 700
For the enterprise requirement "Several member accounts buy overlapping Reserved Instances, yet unused reservations remain in the organization", the team implemented this change: Review RI utilization, supported reservation sharing and regional family coverage before buying more. Which outcome is the most meaningful acceptance test?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This measures the behavior required by the specific solution, rather than simply checking that it was configured. RI coverage should be evaluated at consolidated billing scope where sharing is enabled. The acceptance condition is linked directly to the scenario: Several member accounts buy overlapping Reserved Instances, yet unused reservations remain in the organization.
Incorrect Answers
Logs identify blocked and counted requests by rule so false positives can be evaluated. However, this does not establish the required outcome: discount usage improves with fewer unused reservation hours and measured baseline cost changes.
Data-transfer charges drop while latency and resilience objectives still pass. However, this does not establish the required outcome: discount usage improves with fewer unused reservation hours and measured baseline cost changes.
Approved orphaned volumes stop generating storage costs while protected volumes remain recoverable. However, this does not establish the required outcome: discount usage improves with fewer unused reservation hours and measured baseline cost changes.
