A. B. C. D.Correct Answer: D.
AWS Compute Optimizer can help identify optimal AWS EBS volume configuration by analyzing CloudWatch metrics for EBS volumes.
These recommendations can help to reduce cost have optimum performance for application load.
AWS Compute Optimizer supports the following AWS resources:
1.Amazon EC2 instances.
2.Amazon EBS volumes.
3.AWS Auto Scaling.
4.AWS Lambda functions
Option A is incorrect as AWS Budget will help set budgets for AWS resources and get alerts when costs exceed the budget.
Option B is incorrect as these recommendations will provide only cost-related savings, not performance recommendations.
Option C is incorrect as AWS Trusted Advisor does not provide recommendations based upon Amazon EBS metrics.
For more information on AWS Compute Optimizer, refer to the following URL,
https://aws.amazon.com/compute-optimizer/faqs/As a SysOps administrator, you can use the AWS Cost Explorer Resource Rightsizing Recommendations to optimize EBS volumes for the current application usage and reduce costs.
The AWS Cost Explorer is a tool that provides visibility into your AWS spending and usage. It helps you analyze your costs, usage, and reservations across multiple dimensions such as AWS services, regions, and tags.
Resource Rightsizing Recommendations is a feature of AWS Cost Explorer that analyzes your usage data to recommend the appropriate instance types and sizes for your workloads. It helps you optimize your infrastructure and reduce costs by recommending the most cost-effective instance types and sizes based on your usage patterns.
In this case, the IT Manager can use the Resource Rightsizing Recommendations to analyze the usage of the current application and identify the appropriate EBS volume types and sizes for the workload. This can help optimize the usage of EBS volumes and reduce costs.
AWS Trusted Advisor is a service that provides best practices recommendations in several categories such as cost optimization, security, and performance. However, it does not specifically provide recommendations for EBS volumes.
AWS Compute Optimizer is a service that analyzes the usage of EC2 instances and provides recommendations for optimal instance types and sizes. It does not provide recommendations for EBS volumes.
AWS Budgets is a tool that helps you set custom budgets and receive alerts when your AWS costs or usage exceed your budgeted amount. It does not provide recommendations for EBS volumes.
