AWS trusted adviser vs Inspector

Question

I am preparing for AWS certificate so I am reading about services overview, however I reach the security section and there is trusted adviser and inspector, I couldn't get the difference between them.

Answer 1

AWS is a web service by Amazon which provides certain resources and services to their customers to help their business scale and grow.

Trusted Advisory is one of the service of AWS, which helps its user to observe best practices for the use of AWS by inspecting your AWS environment along with saving money, improving system performance, reliability, and closing security gaps.

It provides its advice on 5 areas:

• Cost Optimization
• Fault Tolerance
• Performance
• Service Limits
• Security

Amazon Inspector is an automated security assessment service that helps improve the security and compliance of applications deployed on AWS. It automatically assesses applications for vulnerabilities or deviations from best practices

The difference between AWS Trusted Advisor and AWS inspector is that -

• Trusted Advisor applies to the AWS account and AWS services
• Amazon Inspector applies to the content of multiple EC2 instances
