AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 860

A company wants to estimate its expected monthly AWS costs. The company also wants to find out the cost of a new set of instances and services.

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

Answer options

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

Correct answer: B

Explanation

AWS Pricing Calculator is designed to estimate the cost of AWS services and help plan monthly expenditures for new architectures. AWS Budgets is used to monitor and set alerts for actual or forecasted spending, whereas AWS Trusted Advisor offers optimization recommendations. AWS Marketplace is a digital catalog for third-party software and does not estimate custom AWS architecture costs.
