The finance team requires a solution to generate detailed cost reports for all consolidated companies via a self-managed application. Which of the following solutions would fulfill this requirement?
Explanation:
The correct solution is A. By generating an AWS Cost and Usage Report for the organization and defining tags and cost categories, the company can achieve detailed cost reporting across the consolidated companies. Creating a table in Amazon Athena based on this report enables advanced querying capabilities. Following this, setting up an Amazon QuickSight dataset based on the Athena table allows the finance team to easily generate and share detailed cost reports. Options B, C, and D each have their limitations. Option B does not provide a method for advanced querying and cross-company reports. Option C and D rely heavily on the AWS Price List Query API, which does not furnish detailed cost information for the organization's resources.
