AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate — Question 33

A team is managing an AWS account that is a member of an organization in AWS Organizations. The organization has consolidated billing features enabled. The account hosts several applications.
A SysOps administrator has applied tags to resources within the account to reflect the environment. The team needs a report of the breakdown of charges by environment.
What should the SysOps administrator do to meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Filter, map, and categorize resource groups in Tag Editor.
• B. Ensure that the organization's service control policies (SCPs) allow access to cost allocation tags.
• C. Ensure that the IAM credentials that are used to access Cost Explorer have permissions to group cost by tags.
• D. Activate the tag keys for cost allocation on the organization's management account.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because activating tag keys for cost allocation on the management account allows AWS to include those tags in billing reports. Options A and B do not directly enable cost reporting by tags, while C is about permissions but does not activate the tag keys necessary for cost allocation.
