Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 topic 1 question 29 discussion

Answer A : because we do not depend on the users, I prefer management account Option C or A would be the correct answer. In option C, the solution architect would activate the costCenter user-defined tag in the member accounts of the organization, and then schedule a monthly AWS Cost and Usage Report from the management account to retrieve the reports and calculate the total cost for the costCenter tagged resources. In option A, the management account of the organization would activate the costCenter user-defined tag and configure monthly AWS Cost and Usage Reports to be saved to an Amazon S3 bucket in the management account. Then, use the tag breakdown in the report to obtain the total cost for the costCenter tagged resources. Both options would allow the company to accurately identify the cost of the security tools running on the EC2 instances and charge the compliance team’s AWS account.

I vote A. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/custom-tags.html https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/configurecostallocreport.html

A. In the management account of the organization, activate the costCenter user-defined tag. Configure monthly AWS Cost and Usage Reports to save to an Amazon S3 bucket in the management account. Use the tag breakdown in the report to obtain the total cost for the costCenter tagged resources.

The most ideal way to get this job done is to use: AWS Cost Explorer But among all the given options, we should go with option A, as the user defined tag can only be managed in management account

A is correct

A is ccorect, we need to login to management account to create

yes, you need to activate cost allocation tags before using, you can do this the same place where you would like to see your reports - management account

lines up correctly activate tag in member accounts and generating AWS CUR from management account ( has ability to see costs across all member accounts) and Tag breakfdown in report

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/activating-tags.html "For tags to appear on your billing reports, you must activate them." https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/custom-tags.html "Only a management account in an organization and single accounts that aren't members of an organization have access to the cost allocation tags manager in the Billing and Cost Management console." -> eliminate B,C. D is not relevant
