Answers
D.

Create an Amazon EventBridge rule that invokes AWS Lambda functions to start and stop the RDS instances.

Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

To run RDS instances only during business hours with the least operational overhead, you can use Amazon EventBridge to schedule events that invoke AWS Lambda functions. The Lambda functions can be configured to start and stop the RDS instances based on the specified schedule (business hours). EventBridge rules allow you to define recurring events easily, and Lambda functions provide a serverless way to manage RDS instance start and stop operations, reducing administrative overhead.

Option A: While CloudWatch alarms could be used, they are more suited for monitoring, and using Lambda with EventBridge is simpler.

Option B (Trusted Advisor): Trusted Advisor is not ideal for scheduling tasks.

Option C (Systems Manager): Systems Manager could also work, but EventBridge and Lambda offer a more streamlined and lower-overhead solution.
