You have set up Individual AWS accounts for each project. You have been asked to make sure your AWS
Infrastructure costs do not exceed the budget set per project for each month.
Which of the following approaches can help ensure that you do not exceed the budget each month?
A.
Consolidate your accounts so you have a single bill for all accounts and projects
B.
Set up auto scaling with CloudWatch alarms using SNS to notify you when you are running too many
Instances in a given account
C.
Set up CloudWatch billing alerts for all AWS resources used by each project, with a notification occurring
when the amount for each resource tagged to a particular project matches the budget allocated to the project.
D.
Set up CloudWatch billing alerts for all AWS resources used by each account, with email notifications when
it hits 50%. 80% and 90% of its budgeted monthly spend
Should the answer not be D? The question is:
Which of the following approaches can help ensure that you do not exceed the budget each month?
C would inform you about the resources when the budget is reached, but D would warn you well in advance, in fact 3 reminders, so that you can take preventive action, BEFORE the budget is reached.

The problem with D is that it states “…by each account” and the question is asking “…tagged resources..per project”. The method in D is better but it would only do it per AWS account, whereas “C” will do it by project using tags. So C is correct but poorly executed.

Yes, but each project has an individual account, so I still stay with D.

I do agree. The answer should be D

I don’t think you can set cloudwatch alarms based on tags, so the only options are A or D. I think D is probably the best option here.

Cloud Guru folks also say D.

I agree with “D”
Hitting the limit does not help you stop going OVER the limit, and the question asks at the ACCOUNT Level……
I am defo NOT going to go with “C” in the Exam !!!!
So this particular serves to confuse people….which is not the purpose of a test exam.
🙁

Hey all, actually this is the tricky ques which would roll you out of the box. But if you fair enough smart to identify the requirements there is no such point states that each project uses single/diff account(s). So i follow a cloud guru … D is the exact match for the above question.!!

I agree option D because the action should be “prevention” and option “C” just alert when the project bill matched the budget.

C is correct – http://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/free-tier-alarms.html
There is no options for selecting percentages of EstimatedCharges

yeah, but you can setup 3 independent alerts

D is correct
Consolidate your accounts so you have a single bill for all accounts and projects (Consolidation will not help limit per account)
Set up auto scaling with CloudWatch alarms using SNS to notify you when you are running too many Instances in a given account (many instances do not directly map to cost and would not give exact cost)
Set up CloudWatch billing alerts for all AWS resources used by each project, with a notification occurring when the amount for each resource tagged to a particular project matches the budget allocated to the project. (as each project already has a account, no need for resource tagging)

the proper answer is C as there is no percentage for the notifications on the budget just grater or less or equal but no %#

1) You can setup independent alerts with different thresholds
2) The “C” says “when the amount for **each resource** tagged to a particular project matches **the budget allocated to the project**” – each resource matches the project’s budget? That doesn’t make sense.
