AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 743

A company is in the early stages of planning a migration to AWS. The company wants to obtain the monthly predicted total AWS cost of ownership for future Amazon EC2 instances and associated storage.

Which AWS service or tool should the company use to meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. AWS Pricing Calculator
• B. AWS Compute Optimizer
• C. AWS Trusted Advisor
• D. AWS Application Migration Service

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The AWS Pricing Calculator allows users to estimate the monthly costs of AWS services, including Amazon EC2 and storage, before actually deploying them. AWS Compute Optimizer and AWS Trusted Advisor are used to optimize existing resources rather than estimate future deployment costs. AWS Application Migration Service is used for the actual migration process, not for cost estimation.
