Question 30 of 65 | ← Chapter 5

Q330. As part of budget planning, management wants a report of AWS billed items listed by user. The data will be used to create department budgets. A solutions architect needs to determine the most effective way to obtain this report information.Which solution meets these requirements?

Correct Answer: B. Create a report in Cost Explorer and download the report.

Explanation

B. Create a report in Cost Explorer and download the report is the most effective solution to obtain an AWS billed items report listed by user.Cost Explorer provides a comprehensive set of reports that can be used to analyze costs and usage data, including detailed information on AWS services usage, cost allocation tags, and user activities. Creating a report in Cost Explorer will enable the architect to filter and group the data by user, and generate a detailed report that can be downloaded in various formats, such as CSV, Excel, or JSON. This report can then be used to create department budgets.Option A is incorrect because Athena is used for querying data stored in Amazon S3, not for generating billing reports.Option C is incorrect because downloading the bill details from the billing dashboard is not an efficient way to obtain a detailed report of billed items by user.Option D is incorrect because modifying a cost budget in AWS Budgets with Amazon SES will only enable email notifications when the budget thresholds are exceeded, and will not provide a detailed report of billed items by user.
