AWS Trusted Advisor adds a new operational excellence check category and integrates with AWS Config to deliver 64 new best practice checks across all categories. Trusted Advisor continuously evaluates your AWS environment using best practice checks in the categories of cost optimization, performance, resilience, security, operational excellence, and service limits, and recommends actions to remediate any deviations from best practices. The new best practice checks are powered by AWS Config managed rules which are predefined, customizable rules used to evaluate the compliance state of your AWS resources.
The new operational excellence checks enable you to apply AWS best practices to operate your AWS environment effectively, and at scale. You can use the recommendations from the new checks to support your AWS Well-Architected Framework Review, accelerating alignment with AWS best practices.
The new checks are available to AWS Business Support, AWS Enterprise On-Ramp Support, and AWS Enterprise Support customers. Customers with these Support plans will automatically see recommendations powered by corresponding deployed AWS Config Managed Rules if AWS Config is enabled.
Trusted Advisor checks powered by AWS Config are available in all AWS Regions except China (Beijing, operated by Sinnet), and China (Ningxia, operated by NWCD).
To learn more about Trusted Advisor checks including the new checks powered by AWS Config managed rules, please refer to the check reference documentation. For more information about the checks that are available in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions, please visit the user guide.
