AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question
Your client operates distinct environments for development, staging, and production by utilizing multiple cloud accounts. They seek to unify bill processing and enable precise cost attribution to different departments within their organization. Which feature should they enable to consolidate financial statements and assign expenses to individual company units while still benefiting from combined usage discounts?
Adopt a financial analytics and visualization service for cost evaluation and assignment
Enable a multi-account management service with combined billing and tags for resource classification
Retain segregated accounts for each business segment to handle financial statements separately
Establish individual spending monitors for each segment to manage expenses autonomously
The correct answer is to use a multi-account management service with combined billing and tags for resource classification. This feature allows an organization to pool the usage from all the accounts potentially benefiting from volume pricing discounts, thereby saving costs. Furthermore, by applying tags, expenses can be attributed to specific departments, projects, or environments, enabling precise cost management and reporting.
Implementing separate budgets for monitoring individual department costs won’t aid in bill consolidation and won’t enable company-wide cost tracking. Utilizing a standalone visualization and analytics tool will help in understanding costs but doesn’t facilitate the management of multiple account bills. Maintaining isolated accounts without leveraging the feature for combined billing negates the potential for savings through volume pricing, complicates billing processes, and does not inherently allow for detailed departmental cost tracking.
