AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 939

Which AWS service or feature can a company use to determine which business unit is using specific AWS resources?

Answer options

• A. Cost allocation tags
• B. Key pairs
• C. Amazon Inspector
• D. AWS Trusted Advisor

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Cost allocation tags allow organizations to label their AWS resources with metadata (such as business unit or department), which can then be tracked in cost management reports to identify resource usage. Key pairs are used for secure EC2 login, Amazon Inspector is a security assessment service, and AWS Trusted Advisor provides optimization recommendations, making none of them suitable for resource categorization by business unit.
