A “Member AWS account” in an AWS Organization (using consolidated billing) wants to receive a cost breakdown report (product-wise daily report) so that the analysis of cost and usage could be done. Where can this report be configured to be delivered?
Click on the arrows to vote for the correct answer
A. B. C. D.Answer: B.
As the consolidated billing feature is being used in AWS organizations, the S3 bucket where the report could be configured to be received should be owned by the master account in the organization.
Billing reports cannot be received in S3 buckets owned by member accounts.
The report delivered to the S3 bucket owned by the master account could be ingested to Amazon Athena.
After that, the data in the S3 bucket can be analyzed using standard SQL queries.
AWS Management Console is a centralized management and governance console for all the AWS products.
Option A is INCORRECT.
Option B is CORRECT.
Option C is INCORRECT.
Option D is INCORRECT.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cur/latest/userguide/what-is-cur.html https://aws.amazon.com/athena/ https://aws.amazon.com/console/In an AWS Organization, the member accounts are linked to a master account, which enables the master account to consolidate billing and perform other management tasks across all the member accounts.
To receive a cost breakdown report (product-wise daily report), the member account can configure the report to be delivered to an S3 bucket owned by either the member account or the master account.
Option A: S3 bucket owned by the member account If the member account chooses to configure the report to be delivered to an S3 bucket owned by the member account, they need to create an S3 bucket in their account and grant permission to the master account to access the bucket. This can be done by creating an IAM role in the member account and adding a policy that grants access to the master account. Then, the member account can configure the report to be delivered to this S3 bucket.
Option B: S3 bucket owned by the master account If the member account chooses to configure the report to be delivered to an S3 bucket owned by the master account, they need to contact the master account administrator and request access to the S3 bucket. The master account administrator can then grant access to the member account by adding a bucket policy that allows the member account to write data to the bucket. Once access is granted, the member account can configure the report to be delivered to this S3 bucket.
Option C: AWS Management Console The AWS Management Console is not the correct option to configure the delivery of a cost breakdown report. The console provides access to AWS services and resources, but it is not a destination for report delivery.
Option D: Amazon Athena Amazon Athena is not the correct option to configure the delivery of a cost breakdown report. Athena is an interactive query service that enables users to analyze data in S3 using SQL. It is not a destination for report delivery.
In conclusion, the correct answers are A and B, as the member account can configure the report to be delivered to an S3 bucket owned by either the member account or the master account. The AWS Management Console and Amazon Athena are not the correct options for report delivery.
