Correct answer: Create a daily budget for the Savings Plans by using AWS Budgets. Configure the budget with a coverage threshold to send notifications to the appropriate email recipients..
Why this is the answer
The correct answer is to create a daily budget for Savings Plans using AWS Budgets and configure it with a coverage threshold to send notifications. AWS Budgets is specifically designed to track and alert on cost and usage, including Savings Plans coverage. Setting a coverage threshold directly addresses the requirement to be notified when coverage drops, ensuring full utilization with minimal operational overhead. Incorrect options: Creating a Lambda function to run a coverage report is less operationally efficient. It requires developing and maintaining custom code, which is more complex than using AWS Budgets' built-in functionality. Creating an AWS Budgets report for the Savings Plans budget, without configuring a coverage threshold, will provide a report but won't automatically send notifications when coverage drops below a desired level. "Savings Plans alert subscription" is not a standard AWS service or feature for monitoring coverage thresholds. While Savings Plans have some notification capabilities, AWS Budgets provides the granular control and alerting needed for coverage.
