AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 255

A company has multiple departments. The company must charge each department for its exact AWS Cloud usage, including data transfer costs.

How can the company determine these costs by department?

Answer options

• A. Use one AWS account for each department.
• B. Use cost allocation tags on services that are used the most often.
• C. Use AWS Trusted Advisor.
• D. Use Savings Plans.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because having separate AWS accounts for each department allows for clear tracking and billing of resources and costs associated with each division. Option B, while helpful for categorization, does not provide a complete separation of costs. Option C, AWS Trusted Advisor, offers recommendations but does not track costs by department. Option D, Savings Plans, are for purchasing discounts rather than tracking costs.
