AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C03) — Question 570
A company hosts multiple applications on AWS for different product lines. The applications use different compute resources, including Amazon EC2 instances and Application Load Balancers. The applications run in different AWS accounts under the same organization in AWS Organizations across multiple AWS Regions. Teams for each product line have tagged each compute resource in the individual accounts.
The company wants more details about the cost for each product line from the consolidated billing feature in Organizations.
Which combination of steps will meet these requirements? (Choose two.)
Answer options
- A. Select a specific AWS generated tag in the AWS Billing console.
- B. Select a specific user-defined tag in the AWS Billing console.
- C. Select a specific user-defined tag in the AWS Resource Groups console.
- D. Activate the selected tag from each AWS account.
- E. Activate the selected tag from the Organizations management account.
Correct answer: B, E
Explanation
To obtain detailed cost breakdowns by product line, the custom tags applied by the teams must be designated as cost allocation tags. Because the company is using consolidated billing under AWS Organizations, these user-defined cost allocation tags must be activated from the management account of the organization to apply across all member accounts.
