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

D C isn’t correct because the alert would hit when your budget was spent. You would want to know ahead of time.

D is wrong because we do not have percentage in the notifications 🙂

Answer: D
Explanation:
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)
