AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 95

A company is moving multiple applications to a single AWS account. The company wants to monitor the AWS Cloud costs incurred by each application.
What can the company do to meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Set up invoiced billing.
• B. Use AWS Artifact.
• C. Set budgets in Cost Explorer.
• D. Create cost allocation tags.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Creating cost allocation tags allows the company to categorize and track expenses for each application separately, making it easier to monitor costs. The other options do not provide the same level of granularity or specific tracking for individual applications. Invoiced billing and AWS Artifact do not directly relate to cost tracking, while setting budgets in Cost Explorer is more about forecasting than monitoring actual costs.
