Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C02

Question #: 512
Topic #: 1

[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C02 Questions]

A company has many projects that run in multiple AWS Regions. The projects usually have a three-tier architecture with Amazon EC2 instances that run behind an Application Load Balancer. The instances run in an Auto Scaling group and share Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) storage and Amazon RDS databases. Some projects have resources in more than one Region.
A solutions architect needs to identify each project's individual costs.
Which solution will provide this information with the LEAST amount of operational effort?

A. Use Cost Explorer to perform one-time queries for each Region and create a report that filters by project.
B. Use the AWS Billing and Cost Management details page to see the actual usage costs of the resources by project.
C. Use AWS Systems Manager to group resources by project and monitor each project's resources and cost.
D. Use AWS Billing and Cost Management to activate cost allocation tags and create reports that are based on the project tags.

if you want to see the cost breakdown based on projects you need to have tags associated to each project. I think D is the answer.

But the question asks for the "least amount of operational overhead". Surely, there is a better way than to go into your billing console to tag every element/resource within your VPC?

I would go for A as cost allocation tags in option D work in conjunction with Cost Explorer anyway. Also, Cost Allocation tags wouldn't work in this scenario (IMO) as the question suggests projects underway and CAT cannot apply to the resources that were created before the tags were activated.

Tag is definitely needed for this use case. Even though Cost Explorer is not mentioned in D, it is still a feature of AWS Cost Management and Billing service, which is mentioned in the answer. So, I think D is the right answer.
