AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 661

Which AWS service or tool helps companies measure the environmental impact of their AWS usage?

Answer options

• A. AWS customer carbon footprint tool
• B. AWS Compute Optimizer
• C. Sustainability pillar
• D. OS-Climate (Open Source Climate Data Commons)

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The AWS customer carbon footprint tool is specifically designed to help users track, analyze, and forecast the carbon emissions associated with their AWS usage. AWS Compute Optimizer focuses on resource efficiency and cost reduction rather than direct environmental impact reporting, while the Sustainability pillar is a conceptual framework rather than a measurement tool. OS-Climate is a collaborative project under the Linux Foundation, not an AWS-specific service.
