Option B looks interesting, but tying the recovery to a maintenance window could be tricky to coordinate. D seems more reliable.

Haha, Option C is like turning your office into a 24/7 server room. Definitely not the most efficient solution!

I'd go with Option A. Checking for retirement events weekly and then hibernating the instances is a good way to minimize disruption.
