A county IT office must charge departments for the AWS resources each team owns. What should they apply so Cost Explorer can group spend by department?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Chargeback needs labels on the resources. Activate cost allocation tags like Department=Parks, then Cost Explorer can slice the bill. Untagged chaos makes every department look the same.
Full Explanation
Cost allocation tags are key-value metadata activated for billing so costs can be filtered and grouped by cost center, project, or department. Consistent tagging enables municipal chargeback and showback. Untagged resources, turning off CloudTrail, or relying on Macie alone do not create departmental cost allocation.
