Which AWS service surfaces detailed cost breakdowns by tag, service, account, and time period — useful for chargeback and showback?
AAWS Trusted Advisor
BAWS Cost Explorer (and Cost and Usage Reports for raw line items)
CAmazon Inspector
DAmazon CloudWatch metrics only
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. AWS Cost Explorer (and Cost and Usage Reports for raw line items)
Cost Explorer visualises spend with tag/service/account filters; CUR delivers raw line items to S3 for deeper BI. CloudWatch is metrics; Trusted Advisor audits configs; Inspector scans vulnerabilities.
