AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 42

After a particularly high AWS bill, an organization wants to review the use of AWS services.
What AWS service will allow the SysOps Administrator to quickly view this information to share it, and will also forecast expenses for the current billing period?

Answer options

Correct answer: D

Explanation

AWS Cost Explorer is specifically designed to help users visualize their AWS spending patterns and forecast future costs, making it the best choice for this scenario. While AWS Trusted Advisor offers recommendations for best practices, and Amazon QuickSight is a business intelligence tool, neither of them provides the specific cost forecasting feature that AWS Cost Explorer does. The AWS Cost and Usage Report is more detailed but does not offer a quick overview or forecasting capabilities.
