AWS Trusted Advisor

Trusted Advisor inspects the AWS environment to make recommendations for system performance, saving money, availability and closing security gaps

Trusted Advisor checks the following four categories

• Cost Optimization
  • Recommendations that can potentially save money by highlighting unused resources and opportunities to reduce your bill.
• Security
  • Identification of security settings and gaps, inline with the best practices, that could make the AWS solution less secure
• Fault Tolerance
  • Recommendations that help increase the resiliency and availability of the AWS solution by highlighting redundancy shortfalls, current service limits, and over-utilized resources.
• Performance
  • Recommendations that can help to improve the speed and responsiveness of the applications
• Service Limits (Circa Nov 2017 – Latest Addition)
  • Checks for service usage that is more than 80% of the service limit.
  • Values are based on a snapshot, so the current usage might differ.
  • Limit and usage data can take up to 24 hours to reflect any changes

AWS Certification Exam Practice Questions

• Questions are collected from Internet and the answers are marked as per my knowledge and understanding (which might differ with yours).
• AWS services are updated everyday and both the answers and questions might be outdated soon, so research accordingly.
• AWS exam questions are not updated to keep up the pace with AWS updates, so even if the underlying feature has changed the question might not be updated
• Open to further feedback, discussion and correction.
