AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question
A company runs several Amazon ECS services, each tagged with a unique cost-allocation tag to identify the service. The accounting team must produce a monthly report that breaks down the spend for each service and projects the next month's costs without exporting raw data to external tools.
Which AWS tool should the company use to meet these requirements?
AWS Cost Explorer displays historical cost and usage data, lets you filter and group by cost-allocation tags (such as the service tag applied to each ECS service), and provides built-in forecasts based on past usage. AWS Budgets sets thresholds but does not provide detailed analysis; the AWS Cost and Usage Report delivers raw CSV or Parquet line items that require additional processing; the AWS Pricing Calculator is for estimating costs before resources are deployed.
