A company is hosting an application in the AWS Cloud. The company wants to verify that underlying AWS services and general AWS infrastructure are operating normally. Which combination of AWS services can the company use to gather the required information? (Select TWO).

To monitor the health of AWS services, two primary tools are used. The AWS Service Health Dashboard (D) provides a public, high-level view of the general status of all AWS services by region. For a view specific to a company's own resources, the AWS Personal Health Dashboard (A) provides alerts and remediation guidance when AWS events might affect their specific infrastructure. Using both gives a comprehensive picture of both general service health and personalized impact.

B. AWS Systems Manager is a management service for gaining operational insights and taking action on your own AWS resources (e.g., patching), not for monitoring AWS service health.
C. AWS Trusted Advisor provides recommendations to help users follow AWS best practices for cost optimization, security, and performance, but it does not report on real-time service status.
E. AWS Service Catalog allows organizations to create and manage catalogs of approved IT services for use on AWS. It is a governance tool, not a health monitoring service.
