Why each option
The company needs to track EC2 usage and receive daily alerts for usage exceeding a 10% increase over the 30-day average.
AWS Budgets primarily focuses on cost and usage thresholds that are defined manually, not dynamic anomaly detection based on historical averages.
AWS Cost Anomaly Detection is designed to identify unusual spending patterns and can be configured to monitor specific services like EC2 usage and alert when usage exceeds a specified threshold or historical average.
AWS Trusted Advisor provides cost optimization recommendations and identifies potential savings, but it does not proactively monitor for dynamic usage anomalies like a 10% increase over a 30-day average.
Amazon Detective is a security service that analyzes security data and identifies potential threats, not a service for monitoring and alerting on EC2 usage anomalies.
