Question

After a festival mobile app launch, a tourism board sees an unexpected AWS charge spike and needs to filter by service, Region, and cost allocation tag. Which tool should analysts open first?

Accepted Answer

AWS Cost Explorer, which filters historical spend by service, Region, tag, and other dimensions. — Saw a surprise spike after the festival app went live? Open Cost Explorer. Filter by service, Region, and tags until the culprit shows up.

Answer

AWS Certificate Manager alone, which manages certificates and does not diagnose spend spikes.

Answer

Amazon WorkSpaces alone, which provides desktops rather than cost-analysis filters.
