Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 topic 1 question 34 discussion

B is the correct answer. The solution would be to create an AWS Cost and Usage Report (CUR) from the AWS Organizations management account. This would allow the management account to view the usage costs across all the member accounts, and the teams can visualize the CUR through an Amazon QuickSight dashboard. This allows the organization to have a centralized place to view the cost breakdown and the teams to access the cost breakdown in an easy way.

Option B: it must be done from the management accoint

B. Create an AWS Cost and Usage Report (CUR) from the AWS Organizations management account. Allow each team to visualize the CUR through an Amazon QuickSight dashboard.

Option C: I hate this questions because you have 2 correct answers however only ONE real correct answer. I have to read the question like 20x until I understood it, the questions is asking for " solution so the EACH OU can VIEW a breakdown of usage across ITS account". Its only asking for each OU breakdown for its members can see the usage cost and NOT the organization. Prior to Dec 2020 Option B would be correct however after its Option C: Read the following AWS Update - https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2020/12/cost-and-usage-report-now-available-to-member-linked-accounts/?pg=ln&sec=uc

B. Create an AWS Cost and Usage Report (CUR) from the AWS Organizations management account. Allow each team to visualize the CUR through an Amazon QuickSight dashboard.

C As target is to design a solution so that each OU can view a breakdown of usage costs across its AWS accounts

The question specifies that each OU should only view their own AWS accounts, not all accounts in the organization. While creating the solution in the management account might offer a centralized approach, it violates this crucial requirement.

B From management account of each account

AWS Resource Access Manager has nothing to do with creating CUR. Answer B is correct. Use AWS Organization management account

B by elimination

B As AWS Organizations Management account is only correct option

B. Create an AWS Cost and Usage Report (CUR) from the AWS Organizations management account.
