AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate — Question 165

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 to be utilized in AWS Cost Explorer. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as the time frame for tag usage does not prevent filtering, and the absence of a Cost and Usage Report or a usage budget does not directly affect the ability to filter with tags.
