AWS Trusted Advisor

#65 · Level 2 · Scaling and resilience · Monitoring and operations

AWS Trusted Advisor automatically checks your AWS account and gives advice. It runs a set of specific checks, arranged into categories such as cost, security, performance, fault tolerance (surviving trouble) and service limits. Each check’s result is shown with a green, yellow or red mark, and it tells you what you should do. How many checks you get depends on your AWS Support plan. It gives an overall picture of your account’s state according to AWS best practices.

A yearly full-body checkup at the doctor — a list of where the problems are and what to change to stay healthy.

Money wasted on unused resources, security risks through open doors — these are hard to find on your own.

Finding servers that were not turned off, catching storage that has been left public, spotting services that are close to their limits.
