    AWS SAP-C02 · Question 05 · Domain 1.5: Cost Optimization

    An enterprise has 50 AWS accounts under AWS Organizations. They want to implement a chargeback model where each business unit (BU) pays for its own AWS usage. However, some resources like Transit Gateway and central databases are shared. How can the architect provide accurate cost visibility and chargeback capabilities?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Use AWS Cost Explorer to filter by account ID. Manually calculate shared costs using an Excel spreadsheet.

    B.

    Implement AWS Cost Categories. Define rules to map accounts to BUs, and use split charge rules to distribute shared costs proportionally.

    C.

    Use AWS Budgets to set limits per BU. Tag shared resources with multiple BU tags.

    D.

    Enable Cost and Usage Reports (CUR). Write a custom AWS Lambda function to parse the CSV and allocate costs.

    How to approach this question

    Identify the native AWS feature designed for grouping and splitting shared costs.

    Full Answer

    B.Implement AWS Cost Categories. Define rules to map accounts to BUs, and use split charge rules to distribute shared costs proportionally.✓ Correct
    Use AWS Cost Categories to group costs by BU tags. Use split charge rules in Cost Categories to allocate shared resource costs.
    AWS Cost Categories allow you to group cost and usage information into meaningful categories. The split charge feature allows you to equitably allocate shared costs across multiple cost centers.

    Common mistakes

    Assuming custom CUR parsing is the only way to split shared costs.
