AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 37

A company wants to receive a notification when a specific AWS cost threshold is reached.
Which AWS services or tools can the company use to meet this requirement? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS)
• B. AWS Budgets
• C. Cost Explorer
• D. Amazon CloudWatch
• E. AWS Cost and Usage Report

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

AWS Budgets allows users to set custom cost thresholds and receive notifications when those thresholds are crossed, making it a suitable choice. Amazon CloudWatch can monitor AWS services and trigger alarms based on metrics, including costs, which is why it is also correct. The other options, while useful for cost management, do not provide notification capabilities specifically tied to cost thresholds.
