Q883. A company runs several Amazon RDS for Oracle On-Demand DB instances that have high utilization. The RDS DB instances run in member accounts that are in an organization in AWS Organizations.The company's finance team has access to the organization's management account and member accounts. The finance team wants to find ways to optimize costs by using AWS Trusted Advisor.Which combination of steps will meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

Correct Answer: A. Use the Trusted Advisor recommendations in the management account., C. Review the Trusted Advisor checks for Amazon RDS Reserved Instance Optimization.

Explanation

To meet the requirements of optimizing costs for Amazon RDS DB instances using AWS Trusted Advisor, the company's finance team should take the following steps:A. Use the Trusted Advisor recommendations in the management account.The finance team should utilize the Trusted Advisor recommendations in the management account. The management account in AWS Organizations has access to consolidated billing and can view Trusted Advisor recommendations for all member accounts within the organization. By reviewing the Trusted Advisor recommendations in the management account, the finance team can identify cost optimization opportunities for the RDS DB instances running in the member accounts.C. Review the Trusted Advisor checks for Amazon RDS Reserved Instance Optimization.The finance team should specifically review the Trusted Advisor checks for Amazon RDS Reserved Instance Optimization. These recommendations provide guidance on optimizing costs by utilizing Reserved Instances for the RDS DB instances. Reserved Instances offer significant cost savings compared to On-Demand instances when the workload has a predictable or steady-state usage pattern. By reviewing and implementing the recommendations related to Reserved Instance Optimization, the company can optimize costs for the RDS DB instances.Options B, D, and E are not necessary or directly related to optimizing costs for Amazon RDS DB instances using Trusted Advisor:Option B suggests using Trusted Advisor recommendations in the member accounts where the RDS DB instances are running. While member accounts can access Trusted Advisor recommendations, it is more efficient for the finance team to review the recommendations in the management account, which provides consolidated access to recommendations for all member accounts.Option D suggests reviewing the Trusted Advisor checks for Amazon RDS Idle DB Instances. While this is a valid cost optimization consideration, it is not specified in the scenario that there are idle DB instances. Therefore, it may not be directly relevant to the requirement of optimizing costs for the high-utilization RDS DB instances.Option E suggests reviewing the Trusted Advisor checks for compute optimization and crosschecking the results using AWS Compute Optimizer. While compute optimization is important, it is not directly related to optimizing costs for Amazon RDS DB instances. Compute Optimizer is primarily focused on EC2 instances and Auto Scaling groups, not RDS DB instances.In summary, to optimize costs for the Amazon RDS DB instances using AWS Trusted Advisor, the finance team should use the Trusted Advisor recommendations in the management account (Option A) and specifically review the Trusted Advisor checks for Amazon RDS Reserved Instance Optimization (Option C).
