A company needs to graphically visualize AWS billing and usage over time. The company also needs information about its AWS monthly costs. Which AWS Billing and Cost Management tool provides this data in a graphical format?
Both Cost Explorer and Cost and Usage reports are for same purpose. The main difference is Cost Explorer gives graphically representation. so correct answer is B
Cost Explorer is a powerful tool within the AWS Billing and Cost Management console that enables users to visualize and analyze their AWS costs and usage. It provides interactive charts, graphs, and reports that depict spending patterns, usage trends, and cost breakdowns over time.
With Cost Explorer, users can view their AWS billing and usage data in a graphical format, allowing them to gain insights into their monthly costs and resource consumption. It offers pre-built reports, customizable filters, and visualizations that help track and analyze spending across different dimensions like services, regions, tags, and more.
Cost Explorer (B) enables users to visualize and understand their AWS costs and usage trends over time. It also provides information about the monthly costs of AWS services and allows users to create custom cost reports and budgets. The other options, AWS Bills, AWS Cost and Usage Report, and AWS Budgets provide different functionalities related to billing and cost management in AWS, but they do not provide graphical visualization of data.
I think AWS Bills is a distractor, yes you get a "Bill" that you can access through the Billing Console, but you can't do much with it. It's implying there is an AWS Bills service, there isn't. If you want a graphical representation then it's Cost Explorer.
for current billing and cost analysis use cost explorer for analyze spendings.
for forecast and predict future spendings use budgets.
