AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 67

A company is exploring the use of the AWS Cloud, and needs to create a cost estimate for a project before the infrastructure is provisioned.
Which AWS service or feature can be used to estimate costs before deployment?

Answer options

• A. AWS Free Tier
• B. AWS Pricing Calculator
• C. AWS Billing and Cost Management
• D. AWS Cost and Usage Report

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The AWS Pricing Calculator is specifically designed to help users estimate costs for their projects before deployment. The other options do not provide upfront cost estimation: AWS Free Tier offers limited free usage, AWS Billing and Cost Management is for tracking costs after usage, and AWS Cost and Usage Report provides detailed billing data after costs have been incurred.
