Correct answer: AWS Compute Optimizer.
Why this is the answer
AWS Compute Optimizer analyzes the configuration and utilization metrics of your AWS resources, including EC2 instances, to recommend optimal resource configurations. It identifies opportunities to reduce costs and improve performance by rightsizing instances that are underutilized or overprovisioned. AWS Config tracks resource configurations and changes, but doesn't provide optimization recommendations. AWS Cost Anomaly Detection identifies unusual spending patterns but doesn't offer rightsizing advice. AWS Budgets allows you to set custom cost and usage alerts but doesn't analyze resource utilization for optimization.
