AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question
A company has set a monthly AWS spending limit of USD 5,000. They want a service that lets them define this budget, continuously monitor actual and forecasted spend during the month, and automatically send email or SNS alerts if the forecast or actual cost is expected to exceed the limit. Which AWS service should they use?
AWS Budgets lets you create custom monthly (or other period) budgets, tracks both actual and forecasted costs, and sends notifications via email or Amazon SNS when a threshold is reached or forecasted to be exceeded. Cost Explorer is primarily for interactive visualization, the Cost and Usage Report provides raw data files, and AWS Compute Optimizer gives resource-rightsizing recommendations-none of these services let you set automatic budget alerts.
