We have been using Amazon Inspector and Amazon Trusted Advisor for monitoring. These tools are especially useful for preventing cyberattacks on our systems. Trusted Advisor scans the complete infrastructure, providing a consolidated view of our account's systems. We use CloudWatch with Trusted Advisor to manage AWS resources through automated alerts.

As I sit in Cloud Security Center, I have the responsibility for all workloads running on AWS. I use Trusted Advisor to gain visibility into the resources the project teams are using, and AWS gathers any vulnerabilities and recommendations across the governance spectrum that Trusted Advisor provides. I then contact the solution owners to ensure they close the gaps and implement measures to prevent breaches.
AWS gives baseline security hardening guidelines, which are provided by a trusted advisor. But it goes beyond security, offering advice on building, deployment, cost optimization, infrastructure optimization, and even detailed security optimization.

We use AWS Trusted Advisor to optimize cost and the under-provision and over-provision of EBS volumes and EC2 instances. We recommend downsizing or upsizing the EBS volume configuration or EC2 instances. The solution helps us reduce and optimize the cost of upscaling or downscaling the AWS infrastructure.
Whenever we deploy something or whenever we do some changes in the environment, we normally go in AWS Trusted Advisor and check whether any instances lying idle, any rightsizing we can do, whether we can reclaim any EBS volumes, or whether we can recommission any of the databases which are serving Zero IOPs, or whether there are any security-related loopholes in our entire environment. It gives all the checks related to performance issues and cost. It gives those checks.
AWS Trusted Advisor is your customized cloud expert! It helps you to observe best practices for the use of AWS by inspecting your AWS environment with an eye toward saving money, improving system performance and reliability, and closing security gaps.

I usually utilize Trusted Advisor for cloud optimization strategies. I often use it when I have business support or development support packages.

The solution shows me a lot of cost optimization areas. It also shows me where to tighten my cloud’s security.
