Exam AWS-SysOps topic 1 question 928 discussion

Exam question from Amazon's AWS-SysOps

Question #: 928
Topic #: 1

A company wants to track Amazon EC2 usage charges that are based on the value of a tag that is named Business-Unit. Company leaders instruct developers to update all EC2 resources with the tag. The developers notify the leaders that they have completed this task.
Later that week, a finance team member checks Cost Explorer. The finance team member sees EC2 costs in the different accounts but cannot find the Business-
Unit tag to filter by or group by.
What is the MOST likely reason that the Business-Unit tag is absent?

A. The Business-Unit tag is not activated as a cost allocation tag in the AWS Billing and Cost Management console.
B. The Business-Unit tag is not valid because tag key names do not support dashes (-).
C. The instances have been rebooted, and the developers neglected to re-add the Business-Unit tag after the reboot.
D. The IAM user does not have permission to view the tags in Cost Explorer.

Selected Answer: A

For tags to be used as cost allocation tags, they need to be activated in the AWS Billing and Cost Management console. Even if the developers have added the Business-Unit tag to the EC2 resources, if it is not activated as a cost allocation tag, it will not appear in Cost Explorer for filtering or grouping the EC2 costs based on that tag.
