A global IT firm has created multiple accounts across multiple regions for internal users to create AWS resources.
AWS Config is set up to capture all resource data for multiple accounts in the us-east-1 region.
The Operations Lead is looking for the total count of resources across all the regions along with total non-compliant resources. Which of the following dashboards can be viewed to get the required details?

A. B. C. D.Correct Answer: A.
An aggregator dashboard can be used to view the total number of resources and the non-compliance resources for multiple accounts and regions.
Options B, C and D are incorrect as these dashboards will not display resource count & compliance status of resources across multiple accounts and regions.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/developerguide/viewing-the-aggregate-dashboard.htmlBased on the given scenario, the Operations Lead needs to view a dashboard that can provide the total count of resources across all regions, along with the total non-compliant resources.
Out of the provided options, the best option to achieve this is the "View Aggregator dashboard."
The View Aggregator dashboard is used to view the compliance status of resources across multiple accounts and regions. It allows you to aggregate and view data from multiple accounts and regions in a single location. You can view resource types, resource counts, and compliance status across all accounts and regions, making it an ideal choice for this scenario.
The AWS Config dashboard provides an overview of your AWS Config resources and compliance status, but it is limited to resources in the us-east-1 region. This would not provide the required information for all regions.
The Resources dashboard provides information about the AWS resources created in a specific account, which does not meet the requirement of this scenario.
The Advanced Queries dashboard allows you to query the configuration history of AWS resources to get more detailed information, but it may not be the most effective way to get the overall resource count and non-compliant resources across multiple accounts and regions.
Therefore, the View Aggregator dashboard is the most appropriate dashboard for this scenario, as it can provide a centralized view of resource counts and compliance status across multiple accounts and regions.
