Question

How can I automate Trusted Advisor checks?

Answer 1

You can automate Trusted Advisor checks using AWS Lambda and CloudWatch Events. Here's an example of a Lambda function written in Python that triggers a Trusted Advisor check:

import boto3

def lambda_handler(event, context):
    # Initialize the Boto3 Trusted Advisor client
    client = boto3.client('support', region_name='us-east-1')
    
    # Trigger a Trusted Advisor check
    response = client.refresh_trusted_advisor_check(checkId='your_check_id')
    
    # Return status
    return {
        'statusCode': 200,
        'body': response
    }
 

This Lambda function can be scheduled to run at specific intervals using CloudWatch Events.
