Consider this scenario: You launch an EC2 instance, run a compute-heavy task, then stop the instance. What happens to the compute power and billing?
ACompute power stops and billing stops when the instance is stopped.
BCompute power continues but billing stops when the instance is stopped.
CCompute power stops but billing continues when the instance is stopped.
DCompute power and billing continue even if the instance is stopped.
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Understand EC2 instance stop behavior

    When you stop an EC2 instance, the virtual server stops running, so compute power is no longer used.

  2. Step 2: Understand billing during stop

    Billing for compute stops because you are not using the server, though storage may still be billed separately.

  3. Final Answer:

    Compute power stops and billing stops when the instance is stopped. -> Option A

  4. Quick Check:

    Stopped instance = no compute, no billing [OK]
Quick Trick: Stop instance = stop compute and billing [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Assuming billing continues after stopping
  • Thinking compute runs when stopped
  • Confusing storage billing with compute billing
