AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question
A startup company wants to receive alerts when their monthly cloud expenses approach a predefined limit to prevent unexpected charges. Which service should they use to achieve this?
AWS Budgets allows users to set custom cost and usage budgets and receive alerts when costs or usage exceed (or are forecasted to exceed) those budgets. This helps in proactive cost management by notifying users before unexpected charges occur. AWS Cost Explorer helps visualize and analyze costs over time but does not provide alerting on budget thresholds. AWS Cost Anomaly Detection monitors spending patterns and alerts on unusual cost spikes but does not allow setting predefined budget limits. AWS Cost and Usage Report provides detailed reports on usage and costs but lacks budgeting alerts.
