AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 349

A company needs to receive notification when a deployed workload is using more than a certain percentage of a service quota.

Which AWS service should the company use to meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. AWS Config
• B. AWS CloudTrail
• C. AWS Trusted Advisor
• D. AWS Lambda

Correct answer: C

Explanation

AWS Trusted Advisor includes a Service Limits check that monitors resource usage against service quotas and can trigger notifications when usage exceeds a specific percentage. AWS Config is used for tracking resource configuration history and compliance, while AWS CloudTrail records API activity and user actions. AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service and does not natively track service quotas for notifications.
