A company utilizes a web application supported by an Auto Scaling group of EC2 instances distributed across multiple Availability Zones, all managed behind an Application Load Balancer. The database infrastructure employs Amazon RDS MySQL, and Amazon Route 53 directs the incoming traffic to the load balancer. The Load Balancer is equipped with a health check feature to monitor the web servers and confirm their access to the database. To meet compliance requirements, management has directed the Operations team to establish a disaster recovery site that is geographically separate to maintain business continuity. The stipulated Recovery Point Objective (RPO) is 5 minutes, and the Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is set at 2 hours.

Example

Scenario

A company intends to establish a system to monitor the cost-effectiveness of their EC2 resources across their various AWS accounts. All existing resources are already tagged to identify the relevant environment, department, and business unit for cost allocation. They have directed their DevOps engineer to automate cost optimization of infrastructure across multiple shared environments and accounts, including identifying underutilized EC2 instances.
