Question 33
Domain 4: ML Solution Monitoring, Maintenance, and SecurityA machine learning team wants to monitor its AWS spending trends over time and also receive alerts when projected costs are expected to exceed a defined limit. Which combination of AWS services BEST meets these requirements?
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Use AWS Cost Explorer to analyze and visualize historical and forecasted spending patterns, and use AWS Budgets to set cost thresholds and trigger alerts when actual or forecasted spend exceeds those limits. — AWS Cost Explorer, AWS Budgets for ML cost tracking
Why each option is right or wrong
A. Use AWS Budgets to analyze spending trends and AWS Cost Explorer to send threshold alerts
AWS Budgets is for setting spending limits and alerts, while Cost Explorer is for cost analysis and trend visualization.
B. Use AWS Cost Explorer to review spending trends and AWS Budgets to create limit-based alerts
The stated requirement has two parts: monitoring spending trends over time and receiving alerts when projected costs exceed a defined limit. AWS Cost Explorer is the AWS service used for cost analysis and trend review, while AWS Budgets is used to define budget thresholds and generate alerts tied to actual or forecasted spend.
C. Use AWS Cost Explorer for both trend analysis and automatic budget alert notifications
AWS Cost Explorer provides cost tracking and analysis, but budget thresholds and alerting are handled by AWS Budgets.
D. Use AWS Budgets for both historical cost visualization and projected limit notifications
AWS Cost Explorer is the service for spending trend analysis and visualization; AWS Budgets handles thresholds and notifications.
