Problem Statement:
In the ever-changing world of managing computer stuff in the cloud, our tech company had a tough time making everything work smoothly on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

As our cloud setup got more complicated, trying to fix things by hand became really hard. It was like trying to untangle a messy knot – slow, full of mistakes, and not easy to handle as we got bigger. We realized we needed a smart helper that could point out what’s going wrong and suggest fixes. So, we set out to make our AWS setup better. We wanted to stop just reacting to problems and start being proactive about making things run great – fast, not too expensive, and super safe in the always-changing cloud world. That’s when we found AWS Trusted Advisor. It’s like a digital friend that gives us real-time tips and checks our cloud setup automatically. It promised to make our tech life easier by taking away the headaches of manual problem-solving and making sure our AWS setup works like a charm.
