A SysOps Administrator has been asked to configure user-defined cost allocation tags for a new AWS account. The company is using AWS Organizations for account management. What should the Administrator do to enable user-defined cost allocation tags?
A.
Log in to the AWS Billing and Cost Management console of the new account, and use the Cost Allocation Tags manager to create the new user-defined cost allocation tags.
B.
Log in to the AWS Billing and Cost Management console of the payer account, and use Cost Allocation Tags manager to create the new user-defined cost allocation tags.
C.
Log in to the AWS Management Console of the new account, use the Tag Editor to create the new user-defined tags, then use the Cost Allocation Tags manager in the new account to mark the tags as cost allocation tags.
D.
Log in to the AWS Management Console of the new account, use the Tag Editor to create the new user-defined tags, then use the Cost Allocation Tags manager in the payer account to mark the tags as cost allocation tags.
My Opinion is D :
You cant create User Define Tags using Tag Editor :
For ease of use and best results, use the AWS Tag Editor to create and apply user-defined tags. (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/custom-tags.html)
and then Activate them from Cost ALlocation tag manager. CM TM can only be accessed by Payer Account. :
Only master accounts in an organization and single accounts that aren't members of an organization have access to the Cost Allocation Tags manager in the Billing and Cost Management console.
Same Link given above.
B indeed
"Only master accounts in an organization and single accounts that aren't members of an organization have access to the Cost Allocation Tags manager in the Billing and Cost Management console."
Reference: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/custom-tags.html
The payer account in an AWS Organizations structure is the account responsible for payment and cost management for all linked accounts. To enable cost allocation tags, the Administrator should log in to the AWS Billing and Cost Management console of the payer account, navigate to the Cost Allocation Tags manager, and create the desired user-defined cost allocation tags. These tags can then be used to categorize and allocate costs across the linked accounts within the organization.
The answer is D.
The tags must exist in order for them to appear under Cost Allocation Tags in Billing dashboard. All tags KVP you create become visible and available for use in Billing.
B is wrong because it states that..."use Cost Allocation Tags manager to create the new user-defined cost allocation tags."...You cannot create new tags from this view. You can only Choose and Activate any of the tags you created when you provisioned your various AWS services.
D is correct.
D. Log in to the AWS Management Console of the new account, use the Tag Editor to create the new user-defined tags, then use the Cost Allocation Tags manager in the payer account to mark the tags as cost allocation tags.
Ans D.
"For ease of use and best results, use the AWS Tag Editor to create and apply user-defined tags. The Tag Editor provides a central, unified way to create and manage your user-defined tags"
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/custom-tags.html
Ans: B
Ref: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/cost-alloc-tags.html
Only master account in an organization and single accounts that are not members of an organization have access to the Cost Allocation Tags manager in the Billing console. So A, C is wrong.
The user-defined tags can only be defined in Cost Allocation Tags manager. So D is wrong.
Sorry zch but: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/activating-tags.html explain how to activate a tag (that must exist) to do that you need to use Cost Allocation Tags manager.
Steps:
1. Create tags in your account
2. as an organisation Master account activate some tags to be "cost related"
3. manage / split costs using the tags
Then answer is D
D is correct. For user defined tag we use tag editor and it has to be done in payer account and not new account which was created. Hence D is correct.
Ref: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/custom-tags.html
I went with D -
Reason being - Applying User-Defined Cost Allocation Tags :
For ease of use and best results, use the AWS Tag Editor to create and apply user-defined tags.
Then after you create and apply user-defined tags, you can activate them for cost allocation.
