Which term describes usage discounted by a reservation, resulting in a lower rate?

• A. Covered usage
• B. Coverable usage
• C. Unblended rates
• D. Blended rates

Answer: (A)

Covered usage describes the portion of cloud usage that falls under a reservation, so it is priced at the discounted reserved rate instead of the standard on-demand rate. This distinction helps you track how much of your usage is being discounted by reservations. The other terms don’t fit: blended rates and unblended rates describe how costs are presented, not which usage is discounted; coverable usage isn’t a standard term for this concept.
