AWS Trusted Advisor

AWS Trusted Advisor acts as a quick health check for your infrastructure, flagging potential issues in cost optimization, performance, security, and fault tolerance. It scans your resources to highlight areas where you might be overspending or leaving security gaps open, giving you actionable recommendations to tighten up your setup without requiring deep manual audits.

This service fits teams already deep in the AWS ecosystem who want automated insights into their account health. The catch is the pricing model: there is no free tier, so you pay as you go for these checks. If your account usage is light, those variable costs might feel disproportionate compared to the value gained from the recommendations provided.
