AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 36

Which AWS services or tools can identify rightsizing opportunities for Amazon EC2 instances? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. AWS Cost Explorer
• B. AWS Billing Conductor
• C. Amazon CodeGuru
• D. Amazon SageMaker
• E. AWS Compute Optimizer

Correct answer: A, E

Explanation

AWS Cost Explorer helps users analyze their usage patterns and costs, which can highlight instances that may be over-provisioned. AWS Compute Optimizer specifically analyzes EC2 instances and provides recommendations for rightsizing, making it an essential tool for optimizing costs. The other options, while useful in their own right, do not specifically target rightsizing opportunities for EC2 instances.
