Show the answer and explanation

Answer: B

  • A. Wrong: Budgets send alerts when spending passes a threshold. They do not deliver line-item cost data to a bucket for analysis.
  • B. Right: Cost and Usage Reports hold line items for each combination of product, usage type and operation. They can be aggregated by hour, day or month and are delivered to an S3 bucket you own. Learn more: What are AWS Cost and Usage Reports? (opens in a new tab)
  • C. Wrong: Estimates model planned architectures and can be shared by link. They do not report actual usage or deliver hourly line items.
  • D. Wrong: The Health Dashboard reports events that affect resources and planned activities. It does not provide cost and usage line items.
