A company uses AWS Organizations to manage multiple AWS accounts. A financial administrator needs to visualize, understand, and manage the AWS costs and usage for the entire organization. The administrator wants to view historical spending data, forecast future costs, and identify spending trends using graphical charts. Which AWS service should the administrator use to meet these requirements?
AWS Cost Explorer is the correct tool because it provides an interface to visualize, understand, and manage your AWS costs and usage over time. It allows you to explore your spending with custom reports and graphs, analyze data at a high level (e.g., total cost across all accounts), and dive deep into your cost and usage data to identify trends and pinpoint cost drivers. AWS Budgets is used for setting custom cost and usage thresholds and receiving alerts, not for deep graphical analysis. The AWS Pricing Calculator is a pre-sales tool for estimating the costs of a planned architecture, not for analyzing actual spending. AWS Billing Conductor is a more specialized service for chargeback scenarios or for AWS Partners to create customized bills for their end customers.
