A company needs to organize its resources and track AWS costs on a detailed level. The company needs to categorize costs by business department, environment, and application.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
A.
Access the AWS Cost Management console to organize resources, set an AWS budget, and receive notifications of unintentional usage.
B.
Use tags to organize the resources. Activate cost allocation tags to track AWS costs on a detailed level.
C.
Create Amazon CloudWatch dashboards to visually organize and track costs individually.
D.
Access the AWS Billing and Cost Management dashboard to organize and track resource consumption on a detailed level.
B is the correct answer:
- AWS allows you to apply tags to your resources to help organize them and identify their purpose. By using tags to categorize resources by department and application, you can easily track AWS costs on a detailed level.
- AWS also offers cost allocation tags, which enable you to categorize your costs by department or application. By activating cost allocation tags, you can view and analyze your AWS costs in greater detail.
- While options A, C, and D all offer ways to manage and track AWS costs, they do not specifically address the need to categorize costs by department and application as required by the company in the question.
B. Use tags to organize the resources. Activate cost allocation tags to track AWS costs on a detailed level.
"Your organization's financial governance might require transparent accounting of costs incurred at the application, business unit, cost center, and team level. Performing cost attribution supported by Cost Allocation Tags provides you the data necessary to accurately attribute the costs incurred by an entity from appropriately tagged resources."
