AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 99

Which AWS service can identify when an Amazon EC2 instance was terminated?

Answer options

• A. AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)
• B. AWS CloudTrail
• C. AWS Compute Optimizer
• D. Amazon EventBridge

Correct answer: B

Explanation

AWS CloudTrail is designed to log and monitor account activity, including actions taken on EC2 instances, which allows it to identify when an instance has been terminated. The other options, such as IAM, focus on identity management, while AWS Compute Optimizer helps optimize resource utilization, and Amazon EventBridge is used for event-driven architectures but does not specifically track EC2 terminations.
