Topic #: 1

[All AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate Questions]

A company needs to ensure strict adherence to a budget for 25 applications deployed on AWS. Separate teams are responsible for storage, compute, and database costs. A SysOps administrator must implement an automated solution to alert each team when their projected spend will exceed a quarterly amount that has been set by the finance department. The solution cannot incur additional compute, storage, or database costs.
Which solution will meet these requirements?

A. Configure AWS Cost and Usage Reports to send a daily report to an Amazon S3 bucket. Create an AWS Lambda function that will evaluate spend by service and notify each team by using Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) notifications. Invoke the Lambda function when a report is placed in the S3 bucket.
B. Configure AWS Cost and Usage Reports to send a daily report to an Amazon S3 bucket. Create a rule in Amazon EventBridge (Amazon CloudWatch Events) to evaluate the spend by service and notify each team by using Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) when the cost threshold is exceeded.
C. Use AWS Budgets to create one cost budget and select each of the services in use. Specify the budget amount defined by the finance department along with the forecasted cost threshold. Enter the appropriate email recipients for the budget.
D. Use AWS Budgets to create a cost budget for each team, filtering by the services they own. Specify the budget amount defined by the finance department along with a forecasted cost threshold. Enter the appropriate email recipients for each budget.

Selected Answer: D

Don't like this! Budgets do not guarantee to stop you from exceeding a spend. But D seems the best option from those presented. There can be a delay between when you incur a charge and when you receive a notification from AWS Budgets for the charge. This is due to a delay between when an AWS resource is used and when that resource usage is billed. You might incur additional costs or usage that exceed your budget notification threshold before AWS Budgets can notify you. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cost-management/latest/userguide/budgets-managing-costs.html
