Correct answer: Use the Trusted Advisor recommendations in the management account., Review the Trusted Advisor checks for Amazon RDS Reserved Instance Optimization..
Why this is the answer
For AWS Organizations, Trusted Advisor recommendations for all member accounts are consolidated and accessible from the management account. This centralizes cost optimization efforts. Since the company has high utilization RDS instances, the most effective cost optimization strategy is to purchase Reserved Instances. Trusted Advisor's "Amazon RDS Reserved Instance Optimization" check specifically identifies opportunities to save money by converting On-Demand instances to Reserved Instances. Reviewing Trusted Advisor recommendations in member accounts would be inefficient as the management account provides a consolidated view. "Amazon RDS Idle DB Instances" would not apply here because the instances have high utilization. Compute optimization checks are for EC2, not RDS.
