Zorluk: OrtaAWS Billing and Cost Management Tools

A mobile game studio has noticed a significant increase in their monthly AWS invoices over the past year. The finance team wants to visualize and analyze their spending patterns by specific services and regions over the last 12 months, as well as project their future costs for the next 3 months based on this historical data. Which AWS tool should the studio use to meet these requirements?

  1. A
    AWS Budgets
  2. AWS Cost ExplorerCevap
  3. C
    AWS Pricing Calculator
  4. D
    AWS Billing Conductor

Cevap

AWS Cost Explorer
AWS Cost Explorer is the correct tool because it allows customers to visualize, segment, and analyze their actual AWS usage and costs. It provides reports that display cost trends by service, region, and tags over the past 12 months, and it has a built-in forecasting feature that projects spending for the upcoming 12 months (or 3 months at daily granularity) based on historical data patterns.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the primary business requirement
The requirement is to visualize and analyze historical AWS costs by service and region over 12 months, and forecast future costs.
This helps determine if the solution requires proactive alerting, pre-deployment estimation, or retrospective analysis.
2
Evaluate the capabilities of the available AWS billing tools against the requirement
AWS Cost Explorer is designed specifically for retrospective cost visualization and historical trend forecasting. AWS Budgets is for threshold alerts, AWS Pricing Calculator is for pre-deployment planning, and AWS Billing Conductor is for custom billing rules/pro-forma invoicing.
Evaluating each tool's core function identifies the tool that supports both historical analysis and projection based on actual account usage.
