Correct answer: Use the Trusted Advisor recommendations from the consolidated billing account to see all RDS instance checks at the same time., Review the Trusted Advisor check for Amazon RDS Idle DB Instances..
Why this is the answer
The consolidated billing account provides a centralized view of Trusted Advisor checks across all member accounts, making it efficient to see all RDS instance checks at once. Reviewing the "Amazon RDS Idle DB Instances" check helps identify RDS instances that are not being utilized, allowing the finance team to terminate them and reduce costs. The "Amazon RDS Reserved Instance Optimization" check is also relevant for cost reduction by recommending the purchase of Reserved Instances, but the question specifically mentions "On-Demand" instances, making idle instance identification a more immediate and direct cost-saving measure for the current setup. The "Amazon Redshift Reserved Node Optimization" check is irrelevant as the question pertains to RDS.
