Posted on: Mar 9, 2017

AWS Trusted Advisor now provides checks for ten new Service Limits for various AWS services including Amazon RDS, AWS IAM, and AWS CloudFormation. Trusted Advisor Service Limit Checks provide visibility to your current level of AWS service utilization and service limits. Trusted Advisor now also provides a new check for Amazon Aurora DB Availability which checks that your Aurora DB cluster has both private and public instances to help you ensure that your deployments are fault-tolerant. Finally, Trusted Advisor now provides new checks for EC2 Windows for the EC2Config Agent and the EC2 Windows PV Driver version which helps to ensure your EC2 Windows instances have the latest versions installed.

Updated Service Limit Checks are available to all AWS customers. The AuroraDB Instance Availability, EC2Config Version, and PV Driver Version checks are available to Business and Enterprise support customers in the “Fault Tolerance” category.
