Question 91 of 100 | ← Chapter 12

Q891. A company runs its production workload on Amazon EC2 instances with Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes. A solutions architect needs to analyze the current EBS volume cost and to recommend optimizations. The recommendations need to include estimated monthly saving opportunities.Which solution will meet these requirements?

Correct Answer: D. Use AWS Compute Optimizer to generate EBS volume recommendations for optimization.

Explanation

To analyze the current cost of Amazon EBS volumes and recommend optimizations, including estimated monthly saving opportunities, the following solution can be used:D. Use AWS Compute Optimizer to generate EBS volume recommendations for optimization.AWS Compute Optimizer is a service that analyzes the resource utilization of EC2 instances and provides recommendations for optimizing performance, cost, and reliability. It leverages machine learning algorithms to analyze historical usage patterns and identify opportunities for optimization. Compute Optimizer can also provide recommendations for EBS volumes associated with EC2 instances.By using Compute Optimizer, the solutions architect can generate EBS volume recommendations that identify opportunities for cost optimization. These recommendations may include resizing volumes, changing volume types, or modifying provisioned IOPS settings based on historical usage patterns. The recommendations will also include estimated monthly saving opportunities, allowing the architect to make informed decisions on optimizing EBS volume costs.Option A suggests using Amazon Inspector reporting to generate EBS volume recommendations for optimization. However, Amazon Inspector is a security assessment service that focuses on identifying security vulnerabilities and deviations from best practices, rather than analyzing cost optimization opportunities for EBS volumes.Option B suggests using AWS Systems Manager reporting to determine EBS volume recommendations for optimization. While Systems Manager provides a wide range of operational management capabilities, it does not offer specific reporting or recommendations for optimizing EBS volume costs.Option C suggests using Amazon CloudWatch metrics reporting to determine EBS volume recommendations for optimization. CloudWatch provides monitoring and observability of AWS resources, including EBS volumes, but it does not offer cost optimization recommendations or estimated monthly savings opportunities.In summary, to analyze the current EBS volume cost and recommend optimizations with estimated monthly saving opportunities, using AWS Compute Optimizer (Option D) is the appropriate solution.
