AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (SOA-C03) — Question 2

A company applies user-defined tags to resources that are associated with the company's AWS workloads. Twenty days after applying the tags, the company notices that it cannot use the tags to filter views in the AWS Cost Explorer console.
What is the reason for this issue?

Answer options

• A. It takes at least 30 days to be able to use tags to filter views in Cost Explorer.
• B. The company has not activated the user-defined tags for cost allocation.
• C. The company has not created an AWS Cost and Usage Report.
• D. The company has not created a usage budget in AWS Budgets.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because user-defined tags must be activated for cost allocation in order to be used in Cost Explorer. Options A and C are incorrect as they do not address the activation of tags, and option D is unrelated to the issue of filtering based on tags.
