Q

A company runs an application on a fleet of EC2 instances. The company wants to automate the traditional maintenance like running assessments and checking for OS vulnerabilities.

Why is GuardDuty NOT an applicable service for this hypothetical? What is ideal for this?

A

GuardDuty is designed for account-level threat detection, not instance-level maintenance like checking OS vulnerabilities on EC2 instances. Its broader, analyzing account activity rather than specific instances.

Inspector is ideal here.
