AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question
A company is preparing to deploy a high-traffic web application that is expected to have unpredictable consumption patterns. The finance department requires a mechanism to oversee spending against their fiscal plan and be notified if projected or actual expenses are poised to surpass predetermined limits. Which service should they implement for this purpose?
Implement a service that allows setting custom cost and usage alarms to track financial plans and sends notifications when exceeding set limits.
Adopt a cloud advisory tool to monitor expenditure and issue recommendations for budget optimization.
Configure a service to visualize spending trends and set up notifications based on the graphical analysis.
Deploy a tool to deliver detailed billing reports and arrange alerts based on these reports.
The company should use AWS Budgets to oversee spending and receive alerts if costs are forecasted to go beyond the established limits. AWS Budgets is specifically designed to enable customers to set custom budget thresholds and monitor their actual and forecasted AWS costs. This tool compares your budgeted amounts with your actual and forecasted usage, sending alerts when thresholds are breached, making it an ideal solution for managing cost-related risks. The other listed services do not offer the functionality of setting up budget alerts: The Cost Explorer is intended for analyzing and visualizing costs over time, the Cost and Usage Report provides data for detailed cost analysis, and Trusted Advisor offers optimization recommendations but does not directly manage budget alerts.
