AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 593

A user discovered that an Amazon EC2 instance is missing an Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) data volume. The user wants to determine when the EBS volume was removed.

Which AWS service will provide this information?

Answer options

• A. AWS Config
• B. AWS Trusted Advisor
• C. Amazon Timestream
• D. Amazon QuickSight

Correct answer: A

Explanation

AWS Config continuously monitors and records AWS resource configurations, allowing users to view the configuration history and determine exactly when the Amazon EBS volume was detached or deleted. AWS Trusted Advisor provides recommendations for cost, security, and performance, but does not track configuration change history. Amazon Timestream is a time-series database service, and Amazon QuickSight is a business intelligence service, neither of which natively tracks AWS resource configurations.
