CLF-C02 Billing, Pricing, and Support Practice Question
Which AWS support plan is the minimum level required to access the full set of AWS Trusted Advisor checks?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers assume the Developer plan provides full Trusted Advisor access because it is the first paid support plan, but AWS deliberately restricts full checks to Business and above, testing your knowledge of the specific plan boundaries.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Business
The Business support plan is the minimum level required to access the full set of AWS Trusted Advisor checks. While the Basic and Developer plans provide access to only a subset of seven core checks (such as service limits and security groups), the Business plan unlocks all Trusted Advisor checks, including cost optimization, performance, and fault tolerance checks. The Enterprise plan also provides full access but is not the minimum level required.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Basic
Why it's wrong here
Basic support includes only 7 core Trusted Advisor security checks, leaving cost optimization, performance, fault tolerance, and service limit checks unavailable. Since the free Basic tier is intended for experimental or non-production workloads, it does not unlock the full Trusted Advisor suite. Therefore, Basic is insufficient as the plan that provides all checks.
- ✗
Developer
Why it's wrong here
Developer support also limits Trusted Advisor to just the 7 core security checks, not the full suite. This tier is designed for development and test environments, not production workloads, so it lacks Business-level features such as full Trusted Advisor checks and 24/7 access to Cloud Support Engineers. As a result, Developer does not meet the requirement for full checks.
- ✓
Business
Why this is correct
Business support is the minimum plan that unlocks the complete Trusted Advisor suite, covering all checks in cost optimization, performance, security, fault tolerance, and service limits. This tier is designed for production workloads and also includes 24/7 access to Cloud Support Engineers and full Trusted Advisor API access. Therefore, Business is the correct answer to the question asking for the minimum plan with full checks.
- ✗
Enterprise
Why it's wrong here
Enterprise support also provides full Trusted Advisor access, but it is not the minimum level needed; Business already offers the same complete suite at a lower cost. Enterprise adds extra premium features like a Technical Account Manager (TAM) and White Glove case handling, but these are not required for accessing all Trusted Advisor checks. Thus, choosing Enterprise would be correct if cost were not a factor, but it is not the minimum required plan.

Variation 1. A company needs 24/7 phone and chat access to AWS support engineers, full access to all AWS Trusted Advisor checks, and a response time of less than 1 hour for production system outages. Which is the minimum AWS Support plan that meets all these requirements?
medium- A.Basic Support
- B.Developer Support
- ✓ C.Business Support
- D.Enterprise On-Ramp Support
Why C: The Business Support plan is the minimum plan that provides 24/7 phone and chat access to AWS support engineers, full access to all AWS Trusted Advisor checks, and a response time of less than 1 hour for production system outages. The Basic and Developer plans lack 24/7 phone/chat and full Trusted Advisor checks, while the Enterprise On-Ramp plan offers these features but is not the minimum because Business Support already meets all requirements.
