A company has applied user-defined tags to its AWS resources to categorize costs by department. However, the finance team reports that these tags are not appearing in the AWS Cost and Usage Report. What is the most likely reason for this issue?
The user-defined tags must be activated in the Billing and Cost Management console.
User-defined tags are only for resource organization and cannot be used for billing reports.
Only AWS-generated tags, not user-defined tags, can appear in the Cost and Usage Report.
The tags were applied after the resources were created, so they are not eligible for billing reports.
User-defined cost allocation tags must be activated in the Billing and Cost Management console before they can appear in AWS billing reports like the AWS Cost and Usage Report. After tags are applied to resources, their keys will appear in the console as available for activation. Once activated, the tags will be included in billing data going forward. While user-defined tags are for custom tracking, AWS also offers AWS-generated tags (e.g., aws:createdBy). Most AWS-generated tags also need to be activated before they appear in cost reports.
