AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C03) - AWS Compute Optimizer

The AWS Compute Optimizer helps identify optimal AWS compute resources for workloads, focusing on performance improvements rather than cost savings. It requires Cloudwatch for utilization data and has specific requirements for different AWS services like EC2, EBS, and Lambda. Recommendations are based on data analysis and integrated with Cost Explorer and Systems Manager. The tool uses AI and machine learning to provide suggestions for resource optimization, with distinct requirements for each supported service.
