AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 241

A company needs to organize its resources and track AWS costs on a detailed level. The company needs to categorize costs by business department, environment, and application.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Access the AWS Cost Management console to organize resources, set an AWS budget, and receive notifications of unintentional usage.
• B. Use tags to organize the resources. Activate cost allocation tags to track AWS costs on a detailed level.
• C. Create Amazon CloudWatch dashboards to visually organize and track costs individually.
• D. Access the AWS Billing and Cost Management dashboard to organize and track resource consumption on a detailed level.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because using tags allows for detailed categorization of AWS costs by various criteria, which is essential for the company's requirements. Options A and D focus on general monitoring and budgeting but do not specifically address detailed cost categorization. Option C, while useful for visualization, does not provide the necessary tracking and categorization of costs.
