A company runs multiple production applications. One application uses Amazon EC2, AWS Lambda, Amazon RDS, Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS), and Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) across multiple AWS Regions. All resources are tagged with tag name "application" and a value that corresponds to each application. A solutions architect must provide the quickest way to identify all components with that tag. Which solution meets the requirement?

Correct answer: Run a query with the AWS Resource Groups Tag Editor to report on the resources globally with the application tag..
Why this is the answer
The AWS Resource Groups Tag Editor is the most efficient solution because it allows you to search for resources across multiple AWS services and Regions using tags. This centralized approach quickly identifies all components with the specified "application" tag. AWS CloudTrail logs API activity, not resource tags directly, making it unsuitable for this task. The AWS CLI would require iterating through each service and Region individually, which is time-consuming and inefficient. Amazon CloudWatch Logs Insights analyzes log data, not resource tags, so it cannot fulfill this requirement.
