AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 180

A company plans to launch an application that will run in multiple locations within the United States. The company needs to identify the two AWS Regions where the application can operate at the lowest price.
Which AWS service or feature should the company use to determine the Regions that offer the lowest price?

Answer options

• A. Cost Explorer
• B. AWS Budgets
• C. AWS Trusted Advisor
• D. AWS Pricing Calculator

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The AWS Pricing Calculator is specifically designed to help users estimate the costs of services across different regions, making it the best tool for identifying the lowest prices. Cost Explorer and AWS Budgets focus on analyzing costs and managing budgets rather than comparing regional pricing. AWS Trusted Advisor provides best practices and recommendations but does not offer direct pricing comparisons.
