Trusted Advisor inspects your AWS account and recommends improvements across five categories: cost optimization, performance, security, fault tolerance, and service limits.
What the exam wants
Know it gives best-practice recommendations, and that the full set of checks requires a Business or Enterprise Support plan (Basic/Developer plans get a limited subset). When a question mentions automated account-wide best-practice advice on cost or security, that’s Trusted Advisor.
