AWS Solutions Architect Associate · this domain is approximately 20.0% of the exam · 0 practice questions.

Design Cost-Optimized Architectures carries 20% of the SAA-C03 exam weight and requires candidates to identify the most economical AWS configurations that still meet functional requirements. Topics include choosing between On-Demand, Reserved, Savings Plans, and Spot pricing models, right-sizing compute resources, applying S3 storage class transitions, and eliminating idle or redundant infrastructure. Candidates must demonstrate that they understand total cost of ownership rather than just per-hour pricing. Many questions present trade-offs where cutting cost introduces a performance or availability compromise that must be weighed.
