AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 340

Which AWS service or tool gives users the ability to set alerts that are sent when AWS Cloud costs exceed a certain amount?

Answer options

• A. AWS Budgets
• B. AWS Cost and Usage Report
• C. AWS Cost Explorer
• D. Amazon Inspector

Correct answer: A

Explanation

AWS Budgets enables users to set custom budgets and receive alerts when actual or forecasted cloud costs exceed a specific threshold. While AWS Cost Explorer and AWS Cost and Usage Report help analyze and visualize spending, they do not provide budget alerting capabilities. Amazon Inspector is a security assessment service and is completely unrelated to cost management.
