Which solution will meet these requirements?

Options

  • AUse Amazon Inspector reporting to generate EBS volume recommendations for optimization.
  • BUse AWS Systems Manager reporting to determine EBS volume recommendations for
  • CUse Amazon CloudWatch metrics reporting to determine EBS volume recommendations for

Explanation

AWS Compute Optimizerprovides detailed recommendations for optimizingAmazon EBS volumes, including insights into underutilized volumes, inefficient configurations, and potential cost savings. It analyzes usage patterns and provides recommendations based on historical data, making it the ideal tool for this use case. Option A (Amazon Inspector): Amazon Inspector is for security assessments, not for cost Option B (Systems Manager): Systems Manager does not specifically provide EBS optimization recommendations. Option C (CloudWatch): CloudWatch metrics help monitor usage but do not offer optimization recommendations like Compute Optimizer.
