AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question
A single AWS account is shared by several internal departments. Every AWS resource is tagged with the keys Department and CostCenter. The finance team wants a simple, interactive way to break down and analyze monthly AWS charges by each department so that showback and chargeback reports can be generated. Which AWS cost-management service will BEST meet this requirement?
AWS Cost Explorer with cost allocation tags enabled
Amazon CloudWatch dashboards that display Billing metrics
AWS Budgets configured for each department
AWS Cost and Usage Report (CUR) delivered to Amazon S3
AWS Cost Explorer integrates with cost-allocation tags that you activate in the Billing console. After tags such as Department or CostCenter are activated, you can group and filter spend in Cost Explorer to view the exact costs incurred by each department for any time range. This satisfies the need for interactive, tag-based chargeback analysis without requiring external tooling.
