    Thanks for the reply, Mark. I understand your point. When I took, and passed, the official Security Specialty exam just a month ago, I encountered this similar question as well.

    The actual exam has over 150+ items in its question bank so you may or may not encounter this question, but it would be great to know that you can directly use AWS CloudTrail to track the API history for the last 90 days without an additional cost. By default, a new trail is not automatically associated with CloudWatch.

    Cheers,
