A company needs to receive rightsizing recommendations that help identify cost-saving opportunities for Amazon EC2 instances. Which AWS service or tool will provide these recommendations?
Explanation:
AWS Cost Explorer provides rightsizing recommendations that help identify cost-saving opportunities for Amazon EC2 instances. Here's why:
AWS Cost Explorer is specifically designed for cost analysis and optimization. It analyzes your EC2 usage patterns and provides recommendations for rightsizing instances based on actual utilization data.
AWS Config is primarily for compliance auditing and resource tracking, not cost optimization.
Amazon Inspector is a security assessment service for identifying security vulnerabilities, not cost optimization.
Amazon Lightsail is a simplified VPS service, not a cost analysis tool.
Rightsizing recommendations in AWS Cost Explorer help you identify underutilized EC2 instances and suggest more cost-effective instance types or sizes, potentially saving up to 70% on EC2 costs by matching instance capacity to actual workload requirements.
