GuardDuty RDS protection will profile login activity for RDS instances for potential threats. Oddly, Amazon charges for RDS GuardDuty on a per ACU (which stands for Aurora Serverless Compute Unit) per month fee. This specific billing code is the per ACU charge for GuardDuty RDS protection for Aurora Serverless on RDS. Please note that as you scale up the size of your Aurora cluster with more ACUs, you will incur more correponding costs from Guard Duty.
