AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question
Your client operates a multi-department organization and requires precise tracking of cloud infrastructure expenditure to appropriately charge each internal group. What feature should they apply to ensure expenses are attributed correctly for each department's usage?
Merge all departmental accounts into a single payment entity for streamlined billing
Apply resource labeling with key-value pairs customized to each department
Negotiate reduced pricing for extended commitment from each department
Configure spend monitoring tools to send alerts when each department's budget threshold is met
Cost allocation tags enable detailed tracking of cloud resource costs by tagging resources with key-value pairs, such as tagging them with the respective department's name. This facilitates detailed cost attribution to each department, based on their actual resource use, thus aiding in accurate internal chargebacks and financial governance. Using tags can make it easier to organize and visualize spending on cost management dashboards and reports. AWS Budgets is more about setting limits and forecasting, without assigning costs to specific entities. Multi-account billing consolidates payment across accounts, but does not attribute costs. Savings Plans offer discounted prices for committed usage and do not attribute costs to individual users or departments.
