AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 385

A company needs to categorize and track AWS usage cost based on business categories.

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

Answer options

• A. Cost allocation tags
• B. AWS Organizations
• C. AWS Security Hub
• D. AWS Cost and Usage Report

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Cost allocation tags enable AWS customers to assign metadata to resources, which can then be used to categorize and track resource costs on billing reports by department, project, or cost center. While AWS Organizations manages multiple accounts and the Cost and Usage Report provides granular billing data, neither directly categorizes specific resource usage by business category like tags do. AWS Security Hub is a security tool and is not related to cost management.
