Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D, E
Explanation
To ensure proper cost allocation and visibility for each team, the company should: 1) enable cost allocation tags to categorize resources, 2) use multi-account consolidated billing to manage costs across accounts, 3) set up AWS Budgets to monitor and control spending, and 4) activate the AWS Cost and Usage Report (CUR) to analyze detailed cost and usage data. AWS Resource Access Manager (RAM) is unrelated to cost management and does not help in this scenario.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Cost allocation tags enable categorization of resources to track and allocate costs to specific teams or departments.
- B. Correct.
Correct. Multi-account consolidated billing allows cost management across all AWS accounts, enabling a clear view of team-specific spending.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. AWS Resource Access Manager (RAM) is used for sharing AWS resources across accounts, not for cost allocation or visibility.
- D. Correct.
Correct. AWS Budgets allow teams to monitor and control their spending by setting thresholds and receiving alerts.
- E. Correct.
Correct. The AWS Cost and Usage Report (CUR) provides detailed cost and usage data, which can help analyze and allocate costs to teams.
