Exam question from Amazon's AWS-SysOps
Question #: 31
Topic #: 1
[All AWS-SysOps Questions]

You have set up Individual AWS accounts for each project. You have been asked to make sure your AWS Infrastructure costs do not exceed the budget set per project for each month.
Which of the following approaches can help ensure that you do not exceed the budget each month?

  • A. Consolidate your accounts so you have a single bill for all accounts and projects
  • B. Set up auto scaling with CloudWatch alarms using SNS to notify you when you are running too many Instances in a given account
  • C. Set up CloudWatch billing alerts for all AWS resources used by each project, with a notification occurring when the amount for each resource tagged to a particular project matches the budget allocated to the project.
  • D. Set up CloudWatch billing alerts for all AWS resources used by each account, with email notifications when it hits 50%. 80% and 90% of its budgeted monthly spend

Suggested Answer: D 🗳️
Consolidate your accounts so you have a single bill for all accounts and projects (Consolidation will not help limit per account)
Set up auto scaling with CloudWatch alarms using SNS to notify you when you are running too many Instances in a given account (many instances do not directly map to cost and would not give exact cost).
Set up CloudWatch billing alerts for all AWS resources used by each project, with a notification occurring when the amount for each resource tagged to a particular project matches the budget allocated to the project. (as each project already has an account, no need for resource tagging).

While D provides alerts based on overall account spending, it doesn’t differentiate between projects. Project-specific alerts are more effective for budget control THEREFORE I GO FOR C

"it doesn’t differentiate between projects." Yes it does, read again please. Question says "you have set up Individual aws accounts for each project" so we know each project has their own AWS account. D states: "Set up cloudwatch billing alerts for all AWS resources used by each account". So each account's billing is being differentiated therefore each project is being differentiated. Additionally D has alerts at thresholds (50%, 80%, 90%) so you can take action accordingly to avoid going over the budget but look at C's alert: "with a notification occurring when the amount for each resource tagged to a particular project matches the budget allocated to the project. " matches the budget allocated to the project means the total budget. So the notification happens when the bill hits the budget cap, which is too late to be notified to take action. D is the answer

Selected Answer: C
Option D (Setting up CloudWatch billing alerts for each account) may help monitor overall spending but doesn't provide a granular approach to enforce specific project budgets. Additionally, monitoring at 50%, 80%, and 90% may not align with the budget allocation for each project.

It says "Make sure your AWS Infrastructure costs do not exceed the budget" This can only be achieved with option D.

surely consolidate your account for 1 bill makes more sense?

I would agree with you on that, however, it states per project. Normally someone would put it all in one, but if billing gets allocated per account, D is the only way to granulate it.
