A company has several departments. Each department has its own AWS (CLF-C02)
A company has several departments. Each department has its own AWS accounts for its applications. The company wants all AWS costs on a single invoice to simplify payment, but the company wants to know the costs that each department is incurring.
Which AWS tool or feature will provide this functionality?
A) AWS Cost and Usage Reports
B) Consolidated billing
C) Savings Plans
D) AWS Budgets
Solution
Correct answer: B) Consolidated billing.
Consolidated billing allows the company to link multiple AWS accounts together under a single payer account. This enables the company to receive a single invoice for all the linked accounts, simplifying payment. However, each linked account still retains its own separate identity and usage details.
To track costs incurred by individual departments, the company can use cost allocation tags. AWS Cost Explorer and AWS Cost and Usage Reports can then be used to analyze costs based on these tags, providing visibility into the expenses associated with each department.
