Explanation
AWS Trusted Advisor is the correct answer because:
- Cost Explorer is primarily for visualizing and analyzing AWS costs and usage over time
- AWS Trusted Advisor provides real-time guidance to help provision resources following AWS best practices, including cost optimization, performance, security, and fault tolerance recommendations
- Amazon Inspector is a security vulnerability assessment service that helps improve security and compliance
- AWS Budgets is used to set custom budgets that alert when costs or usage exceed budgeted amounts
AWS Trusted Advisor inspects AWS environments across multiple categories:
- Cost Optimization: Identifies unused resources and opportunities to reduce costs
- Performance: Recommends improvements for service limits, latency, and resource utilization
- Security: Checks for security gaps and vulnerabilities
- Fault Tolerance: Ensures high availability and backup configurations
- Service Limits: Monitors service usage against limits
This makes AWS Trusted Advisor the comprehensive tool that provides both cost savings and system performance improvement recommendations.
