AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 — Topic 1 Question 238

Question

A company wants to experiment with individual AWS accounts for its engineer team. The company wants to be notified as soon as the Amazon EC2 instance usage for a given month exceeds a specific threshold for each account. What should a solutions architect do to meet this requirement MOST cost-effectively?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. The correct answer is C. Option C: Use AWS Budgets to create a cost budget for each account. Set the period to monthly. Set the scope to EC2 instances. Set an alert threshold for the budget. Configure an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS)... Amazon EC2 provides resizable virtual servers when you need full control of the operating system. Amazon SNS is a managed pub/sub service for fan-out notifications to many subscribers. AWS Config tracks resource configuration changes and evaluates compliance. This option delivers the requirement at the lowest cost.
