Selected Answer: A

Amazon Inspector is a security assessment service provided by AWS that helps identify vulnerabilities and security issues in EC2 instances. By creating and running an Amazon Inspector assessment template, the Administrator can automate the process of checking for vulnerable software versions across multiple instances. The assessment template can be configured to scan instances for known vulnerabilities and provide detailed reports on the findings. This approach minimizes operational overhead as it automates the scanning process and provides a consolidated view of the vulnerable instances.

Correct Answer: A "Vulnerability" => AWS Inspector "Amazon Inspector is an automated security assessment service that helps you test the network accessibility of your Amazon EC2 instances and the security state of your applications running on the instances. Amazon Inspector allows you to automate security vulnerability assessments throughout your development and deployment pipeline or against static production systems."
