AWS Certified Solutions Architect Professional SAP-C02 Practice Question

An enterprise runs about 50 AWS accounts under AWS Organizations.
Finance has asked for the following capabilities:

  1. A daily breakdown of AWS spend by environment (dev, test, prod) across all accounts, with the ability to run ad-hoc SQL queries on at least two years of historical cost data.
  2. Automatic shutdown of non-production EC2 instances only when the combined monthly spend for the dev and test environments exceeds USD 5 000. The FinOps team must approve the shutdown before it is executed, and developers must be able to start the instances again when the next month begins.

Which solution meets these requirements in the MOST cost-effective way?

  • Activate cost allocation tags and enable an AWS Cost and Usage Report with resource IDs in Parquet format to an Amazon S3 bucket. Catalog the data with an AWS Glue crawler and allow Finance to query it using Amazon Athena. Create a cost category that maps the Env tag to Dev, Test, and Prod. Configure a monthly cost budget filtered on the Dev and Test cost-category values with a USD 5 000 threshold, and attach a manual-approval SSM budget action that stops the non-production EC2 instances.

  • Provision an Amazon Redshift cluster to ingest the legacy Detailed Billing Report each day and grant Finance users Redshift Spectrum access. Attach a service control policy (SCP) to the Dev and Test organizational units that denies ec2:RunInstances when the consolidated bill for those OUs exceeds USD 5 000.

  • Enable AWS Cost Anomaly Detection for the organization and send daily anomaly reports grouped by environment to an Amazon SNS topic. Use an EventBridge rule that triggers a Lambda function to stop any dev or test EC2 instances when an anomaly is detected, and let Finance analyze anomaly data in Amazon QuickSight.

  • Use the Cost Explorer console to export daily CSV files to an S3 bucket and load them into Amazon QuickSight SPICE datasets for Finance. Create an Auto Scaling scheduled action that shuts down non-production EC2 instances every night, and rely on AWS CloudTrail logs to verify when monthly spend exceeds USD 5 000.
