Advisory check

This check is estimated from your configuration and has not been validated against a live resource, for the reason below.

Reason: Needs a Reserved Instance or Savings Plan commitment, or AWS's own purchase recommendation.

Its findings are labelled Advisory and never count toward a headline total.

What it finds

RI Opportunity RDS: one of the Commitment purchases checks in the database optimization group. Checks in this group look for: database capacity that is idle, oversized for its load, kept past its useful life, or priced on a mode that does not fit how it is used.

How it is detected

AWS Cost Explorer RDS RI recommendation

Detection confidence: HIGH (findings stay Advisory). This is the criterion from our public docs. It runs in a local scan with your own read-only credentials.

Run it yourself

Nothing leaves your machine. The local scan has no telemetry.
