Which category is NOT included in the AWS Trusted Advisor checks?

1. Security

2. Elasticity

3. Cost Optimization

4. Fault Tolerance

The correct answer is: Elasticity

The category that is not included in the AWS Trusted Advisor checks is elasticity. AWS Trusted Advisor provides a series of automated checks designed to help users optimize their AWS environment across several key categories: Security, Cost Optimization, Performance, Fault Tolerance, and Service Limits. While elasticity is certainly an important concept within cloud computing, reflecting the ability to scale resources up or down based on demand, it is not one of the specific categories assessed by AWS Trusted Advisor. Instead, the checks focus more on identifying opportunities for improvement and best practices in the other listed areas. Security checks offer recommendations to help safeguard your AWS account, Cost Optimization checks are aimed at helping you reduce your expenses, and Fault Tolerance checks ensure that your applications are resilient to outages. Each of these categories helps users ensure their cloud infrastructure is secure, economical, and reliable. While elasticity may contribute to a system's overall performance and efficiency, it does not directly appear as a distinct category in the Trusted Advisor checks.
