Question 2 of 100 | ← Chapter 15

Q1102. A company uses Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) to run workloads that belong to service teams. Each service team uses an owner tag to specify the ECS containers that the team owns. The company wants to generate an AWS Cost Explorer report that shows how much each service team spends on ECS containers on a monthly basis.Which combination of steps will meet these requirements in the MOST operationally efficient way? (Select TWO.)

Correct Answer: B. Create a custom report in Cost Explorer. Apply a filter for the owner resource tag., E. Activate the owner tag as a cost allocation tag. Group the Cost Explorer report by the owner cost allocation tag.

Explanation

AE/BE.To generate an AWS Cost Explorer report that shows the monthly spending for each service team on ECS containers, we need to consider how to filter and group the costs based on the owner tags used by the service teams. Let's evaluate each option:A. Create a custom report in Cost Explorer. Apply a filter for Amazon ECS.This step is necessary to focus the report on ECS costs, but it doesn't address the requirement to break down costs by service team.B. Create a custom report in Cost Explorer. Apply a filter for the owner resource tag.Applying a filter for the owner resource tag is a good step towards breaking down costs, but it's crucial to ensure that the tag is recognized as a cost allocation tag for accurate grouping and reporting. C. Set up AWS Compute Optimizer. Review the rightsizing recommendations.Compute Optimizer helps with optimizing the cost and performance of EC2 and ECS instances, but it does not directly address the requirement to generate a cost report by service team. D. Activate the owner tag as a cost allocation tag. Group the Cost Explorer report by linked account.Activating the owner tag as a cost allocation tag is essential for accurate cost allocation. However, grouping by linked account does not meet the requirement to break down costs by service team. Linked accounts are typically used to organize costs across different parts of an organization, not within service teams.E. Activate the owner tag as a cost allocation tag. Group the Cost Explorer report by the owner cost allocation tag.Activating the owner tag as a cost allocation tag ensures that the tag is used for cost allocation. Grouping the Cost Explorer report by the owner cost allocation tag allows the report to show costs for each service team based on their respective owner tags.Given these considerations, the most operationally efficient way to meet the requirements involves:Activating the owner tag as a cost allocation tag to ensure that costs are allocated correctly based on the service team tags.Grouping the Cost Explorer report by the owner cost allocation tag to display the costs for each service team separately.答案:E (Activate the owner tag as a cost allocation tag. Group the Cost Explorer report by the owner cost allocation tag) and B (Create a custom report in Cost Explorer. Apply a filter for the owner resource tag --though B is more of an intermediate step ensuring the tag is correctly applied and recognized before making it a cost allocation tag in E). However, since the question asks for the "MOST operationally efficient way" and typically expects two distinct actions, the key actions are:E: Activate the owner tag as a cost allocation tag.Group the Cost Explorer report by the owner cost allocation tag (implied within setting up the report correctly).Thus, the final selection based on direct instruction would be E and, if considering the necessity of creating a custom report initially, implicitly B leading to E for grouping, but the direct answer pair is:E and (implicitly leading from setup) B. However, for question clarity and direct actionable steps provided, E is paramount with the understanding that a report needs to be customized, hence E and B are relevant but E is the critical action for grouping.
