AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question
A Solutions Architect must allocate AWS costs to each project for accurate chargeback. Which action enables the architect to organize costs by project in the AWS Cost and Usage Report (CUR)?
Enable AWS Trusted Advisor cost-optimization checks for the account.
Create a separate AWS Organizations organizational unit (OU) for each project.
Turn on detailed monitoring for all AWS services in the account.
Activate and apply cost-allocation tags to the resources used by each project.
The CUR can group costs by any cost-allocation tag that has been activated in the Billing and Cost Management console. After resources are tagged (for example, Project=Alpha) and the tag is activated, the CUR adds a column for that tag, letting finance teams filter and aggregate usage and charges per project. Simply enabling Trusted Advisor, creating organizational units, or turning on detailed monitoring does not populate tag columns in the CUR.
