Explanation

AWS Trusted Advisor provides automated recommendations, including identifying EC2 instances with low CPU utilization, helping optimize costs with minimal operational effort. AWS CloudTrail records API activity but does not analyze resource utilization. AWS Cost and Usage Report provides cost data, but not detailed performance metrics. Amazon CloudWatch can monitor CPU usage, but it would require manual setup and analysis across multiple accounts, increasing operational overhead.
