A company needs to analyze its AWS costs from the past year, visualize spending trends by service, and generate a forecast of expected costs for the next 12 months to support budgeting decisions. Which AWS tool best meets these requirements?
AWS Cost Explorer provides up to 13 months (and, with advanced features, up to 38 months) of historical cost and usage data, lets you filter and graph that data by dimensions such as service or linked account, and can project future spending for up to the next 12 months based on historical trends. AWS Budgets can alert when spending exceeds thresholds but does not provide the same interactive visualization interface. AWS Trusted Advisor offers cost-optimization checks, and AWS Billing Conductor focuses on custom billing relationships-they are not designed primarily for cost visualization and forecasting.
