AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 412

A company has migrated its workload to the AWS Cloud. The company wants to optimize existing Amazon EC2 resources.

Which AWS services or tools provide this functionality? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. AWS Elastic Beanstalk
• B. AWS Cost Explorer
• C. Amazon Detective
• D. AWS Compute Optimizer
• E. AWS Billing Conductor

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

AWS Compute Optimizer utilizes machine learning to analyze historical utilization metrics and recommend the most efficient Amazon EC2 instance types for your workloads. AWS Cost Explorer provides resource rightsizing recommendations that help identify underutilized EC2 instances to reduce expenditures. Other options like AWS Elastic Beanstalk (application deployment), Amazon Detective (security investigation), and AWS Billing Conductor (billing customization) do not offer EC2 resource optimization features.
