AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 326

A company is in the early stages of planning a migration to AWS. The company wants to obtain the monthly predicted total AWS cost of ownership for future Amazon EC2 instances and associated storage.

Which AWS service or tool should the company use to meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. AWS Pricing Calculator
• B. AWS Compute Optimizer
• C. AWS Trusted Advisor
• D. AWS Application Migration Service

Correct answer: A

Explanation

AWS Pricing Calculator allows users to estimate the monthly costs of AWS services, including Amazon EC2 and associated storage, based on planned configurations. AWS Compute Optimizer and AWS Trusted Advisor analyze already-provisioned resources to provide optimization recommendations, making them unsuitable for pre-migration planning. AWS Application Migration Service is used to physically migrate servers to AWS and does not provide cost estimation features.
