Zorluk: OrtaCost Allocation Tags and Resource Tagging Strategies

A company recently configured consolidated billing using AWS Organizations and completed the migration of several workloads. To track spending across departments, a SysOps Administrator used AWS CloudFormation to provision all resources with the `CostCenter` and `BusinessUnit` tag keys. However, when trying to create a monthly cost report in AWS Cost Explorer, the administrator finds that these tag keys are not available as filtering options. Which of the following steps must the SysOps Administrator take to resolve this issue and make these tags available in AWS Cost Explorer? (Select TWO.)

  1. Log in to the management account of the organization, open the Billing and Cost Management console, and activate the tag keys under Cost Allocation Tags.Cevap
  2. Wait up to 24 hours after activation for the tag keys to become available as filters in AWS Cost Explorer.Cevap
  3. C
    Log in to each member account, open the Billing and Cost Management console, and activate the tag keys individually under Cost Allocation Tags.
  4. D
    Create a resource group in AWS Resource Groups using the tag keys to trigger automatic activation in AWS Cost Explorer.
  5. E
    Configure an AWS Config rule to automatically register and activate the tag keys in the Billing and Cost Management console.

Cevap

To resolve the issue, the administrator must log in to the management account of the organization, open the Billing and Cost Management console, and activate the tag keys under Cost Allocation Tags. Additionally, they must wait up to 24 hours for the activated tags to appear as filters in AWS Cost Explorer.
The correct answer requires performing tag activation from the management account because only the management (payer) account can enable user-defined cost allocation tags for consolidated billing. Furthermore, after activation, it takes up to 24 hours for AWS to update the metadata and populate the tag keys as filters in AWS Cost Explorer.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Access the AWS Billing and Cost Management console using the organization's management account credentials.
The administrator accesses the centralized billing console where cost allocation tags are managed for the entire organization.
Only the management account can activate cost allocation tags for consolidated billing in AWS Organizations.
2
Navigate to the Cost Allocation Tags section, select the 'CostCenter' and 'BusinessUnit' keys under User-defined cost allocation tags, and click Activate.
The selected tags are marked for activation in the billing system.
By default, user-defined tags applied to AWS resources are inactive for cost allocation and must be explicitly activated.
3
Allow up to 24 hours for the activation to process and the keys to appear in Cost Explorer.
The active tags become available as filtering and grouping options in AWS Cost Explorer.
There is a standard processing delay of up to 24 hours for cost allocation tag updates to propagate to the billing reporting tools.

Anahtar Kavram

Cost Allocation Tags require central activation in the Billing and Cost Management console of the management account, followed by a propagation period before they can be used in cost reports.
