AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 970

A company is planning an infrastructure deployment to the AWS Cloud. Before the deployment, the company wants a cost estimate for running the infrastructure.
Which AWS service or feature can provide this information?

Answer options

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The AWS Pricing Calculator is the correct tool because it allows users to model and estimate the costs of AWS services before any resources are actually deployed. In contrast, AWS Cost Explorer and AWS Cost and Usage Report are used to analyze and track historical spending of already active resources. AWS Trusted Advisor provides optimization recommendations for existing infrastructure rather than pre-deployment cost estimations.
