Which of the following is NOT a way to purchase a reserved instance in AWS?

All Up Front
Partial Upfront
No Upfront
Monthly Payments

The correct answer is: Monthly Payments

Reserved Instances in AWS offer a way to reserve capacity and save costs on compute resources by committing to a one- or three-year term. The purchasing options available for Reserved Instances include: - **All Up Front**: This means you pay the entire cost of the Reserved Instance at once for the entire term, which typically results in the highest savings. - **Partial Upfront**: This option allows you to pay a portion of the cost upfront while the rest is billed at a reduced hourly rate throughout the term. - **No Upfront**: This option lets you commit to the Reserved Instance without any initial payment. Instead, you are billed based on hourly usage for the entire reservation period. The option regarding **Monthly Payments** is not a standard payment scheme for reserved instances. While various types of instances and plans may offer monthly billing, Reserved Instances specifically involve either all upfront, partial upfront, or a no upfront payment scheme. Thus, "Monthly Payments" does not align with the recognized purchasing models for Reserved Instances in AWS.
