Explanation
To track costs for different projects across multiple AWS accounts, you can use consolidated billing to centralize billing and cost management. Cost allocation tags allow you to categorize and track resources by project or other criteria. The Cost and Usage Report (CUR) provides the detailed usage and cost data required for generating comprehensive reports. While AWS Trusted Advisor and Cost Anomaly Detection are useful for cost optimization and monitoring, they do not directly facilitate project-specific cost tracking or detailed reporting.
