• AWS Trusted Advisor
  • Trusted Advisor inspects your account across different categories: Cost Optimization,
    Performance, Security, Fault Tolerance, Service Limits, and Operational Excellence.
  • Access to checks depends on your AWS Support Plan:
    • Basic / Developer Support: limited to ~56 core checks
    • Business Support and above: full access to about 482 checks across all categories¹
    • Trusted Advisor Priority requires Enterprise Support
  • Trusted Advisor integrates with EventBridge, allowing you to trigger
    notifications (SNS) or remediation actions (Lambda) when a check’s status changes.

Thanks for reading!
