SAP-C02 Question 143
Select 2Your company is running multiple Amazon EC2 instances across various instance families. Over time, usage patterns have shifted, and the company wants to optimize costs by rightsizing these instances. Additionally, the company uses Amazon S3 for object storage and wants to identify storage patterns and optimize costs across accounts. Which AWS tools should you use to achieve these goals?
- A
AWS Compute Optimizer for EC2 rightsizing recommendations and Amazon S3 Storage Lens for storage usage insights.
- B
AWS Cost Explorer for both EC2 rightsizing and Amazon S3 storage optimization.
- C
AWS Trusted Advisor for EC2 rightsizing recommendations and Amazon S3 Storage Lens for storage usage insights.
- D
AWS Compute Optimizer for EC2 rightsizing recommendations and AWS CloudTrail for S3 usage insights.
- E
Amazon S3 Storage Lens for storage usage insights and AWS Budgets for EC2 rightsizing recommendations.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
AWS Compute Optimizer is designed to provide specific EC2 rightsizing recommendations based on historical utilization patterns, making it ideal for optimizing compute resources. Amazon S3 Storage Lens gives visibility into S3 storage usage and trends, enabling cost optimization for object storage. AWS Trusted Advisor also offers EC2 rightsizing recommendations, albeit in a more general manner. AWS Cost Explorer and AWS Budgets are valuable for cost analysis and tracking but do not provide the specific optimization insights required for this scenario.
- A. Correct.
Correct: AWS Compute Optimizer provides EC2 rightsizing recommendations based on historical utilization metrics, while Amazon S3 Storage Lens offers insights into S3 usage patterns to optimize storage costs.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect: AWS Cost Explorer provides cost analysis and forecasting but lacks specific EC2 rightsizing recommendations and detailed S3 usage insights.
- C. Correct.
Correct: AWS Trusted Advisor provides general EC2 rightsizing recommendations, and Amazon S3 Storage Lens provides detailed S3 storage usage insights for optimization.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect: AWS Compute Optimizer is correct for EC2 rightsizing, but AWS CloudTrail is not designed for analyzing S3 usage insights.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Amazon S3 Storage Lens is correct for storage usage insights, but AWS Budgets is used for cost tracking and budget alerts, not for EC2 rightsizing.
