Correct answers: A, B, C
Explanation
To effectively manage and monitor AWS environments for cost optimization and operational health, you should use a combination of AWS Trusted Advisor, AWS Health Dashboard, and AWS Health API. Trusted Advisor provides direct recommendations for cost and performance improvements, while the Health Dashboard and API keep you informed about the operational health of your resources. Other tools like AWS Cost and Usage Reports and Amazon CloudWatch serve different purposes and are not specifically designed for cost optimization and operational health insights.
- A. Correct.
AWS Trusted Advisor provides recommendations on cost optimization, security, performance, fault tolerance, and service limits, making it a key tool for cost and operational management.
- B. Correct.
AWS Health Dashboard offers a personalized view of the health of your AWS resources, helping you monitor operational issues that can impact costs or performance.
- C. Correct.
AWS Health API provides programmatic access to the same information as the AWS Health Dashboard, enabling automated monitoring and integration into other tools for proactive management.
- D. Incorrect.
AWS Cost and Usage Reports provide detailed billing and usage data but do not directly monitor or manage the operational health of your environment.
- E. Incorrect.
Amazon CloudWatch is a monitoring service for AWS resources and applications. However, it does not provide cost optimization recommendations or insights specific to AWS service health.
