Question 180
A team identifies three independent cloud planning needs. Finding 1: A company maintains many AWS accounts and wants central billing visibility while keeping department accounts logically separated. Finding 2: A prospective workload owner wants to estimate a proposed AWS architecture's monthly price before deploying any resources. Finding 3: An accountant downloads detailed AWS Cost and Usage Report data and assumes it is the same tool as an alert that notifies a team before a monthly limit. Which complete response addresses all three findings in order?
Explanation
Correct Answer
For finding 1: Consolidated billing provides a central billing relationship for member accounts without collapsing all their identities into one account. For finding 2: Pricing Calculator estimates prospective costs; it does not replace measurement of actual spending. For finding 3: Detailed usage reporting and budget monitoring serve related but distinct finance workflows. All three decisions are needed.
Incorrect Answers
For finding 3: Detailed usage reporting and budget monitoring serve related but distinct finance workflows. That action addresses a different situation: A finance team needs to attribute compute and storage expenses to cost centers but its resources have no consistent project metadata.
