Alright, let's do this! Hmm, 3 servers for 9 months and 1 server for 12 months... that's 39 server-months. At $200 per month, that's $7,800. But with the reserved instances, it's only $6,000. The cost savings is $1,800. B is the correct answer, and I'm feeling pretty confident about this one!

Ooh, this one's tricky. But I think I got it. The key is that the reserved instances are charged per year, not per month. So we're looking at 4 years of reserved instances, which is $6,000. And the on-demand cost is 39 server-months at $200 per month, which is $7,800. The difference is $1,800. B is the winner!

I'm not sure, but I think the cost savings would be significant. Maybe it's worth considering for the organization.

I agree with Ceola, because if we convert all four servers to reserved instances, we will save money in the long run.

Hmm, let me think this through. If we have 3 servers for 9 months and 1 server for 12 months, that's a total of 39 server-months. At $200 per month, that's $7,800. But with the reserved instances at $1,500 per year, that's only $6,000. So the cost savings is $1,800. B is the answer!
