SAA-C03 Q547 · Cost

Question

A company has a single AWS account that contains resources belonging to several teams. The company needs to identify the costs associated with each team. The company wants to use a tag named CostCenter to identify resources that belong to each team. Which solution will meet these requirements? (Select TWO)

Accepted Answer

This question requires two steps to achieve cost tracking by team:

**Step 1 — A: Tag all resources with the user-defined CostCenter tag**
- The company needs to apply a tag with the key `CostCenter` and a value representing each team (e.g., `CostCenter=TeamAlpha`, `CostCenter=TeamBeta`).
- These are **user-defined tags** — tags that you create and apply to your resources yourself.
- Without actually tagging the resources, there's no data for AWS to use for cost breakdowns.

**Step 2 — C: Activate the CostCenter tag for cost allocation**
- Simply tagging resources is NOT enough. You must **activate** user-defined tags in the AWS Billing and Cost Management console before they appear in cost reports.
- Once activated, the tag becomes a **cost allocation tag**, and AWS starts including it in
