Explanation

AWS Artifact is the dedicated self-service portal that provides on-demand access to AWS compliance documentation, including SOC reports, PCI DSS reports, ISO certifications, and other third-party audit attestations - exactly what the question describes.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• AWS Config (A) tracks resource configuration changes and evaluates them against compliance rules you define - it's about configuration state, not audit reports.
• Amazon GuardDuty (B) is a threat detection service that monitors for malicious activity using ML - it has nothing to do with compliance documentation.
• AWS Trusted Advisor (C) provides best-practice recommendations across cost, performance, security, and limits - useful guidance, but not a source of formal compliance reports.

Memory tip: Think of Artifact like a filing cabinet of official documents - when auditors or regulators ask "show me your paperwork," AWS Artifact is where you go. If it sounds like something you'd hand to a compliance officer in a folder, it's Artifact.
