Question 240
A professional architect is reviewing two independent workstreams. Requirement A: A central audit account needs immutable delivery of logs from all workload accounts and Regions. Requirement B: A department must be notified promptly when monthly spending exceeds its threshold. Select TWO actions, one for each independently scoped requirement.
Explanation
Correct Answers
This action meets the independently stated requirement A: A central audit account needs immutable delivery of logs from all workload accounts and Regions. An organization trail and protected storage form a centralized account-wide auditing design. A direct acceptance check is: A new workload account's API activity appears in the central log bucket and member administrators cannot erase it.
This action meets the independently stated requirement B: A department must be notified promptly when monthly spending exceeds its threshold. AWS Budgets supports spend targets and notifications on actual or forecasted cost. A direct acceptance check is: A controlled threshold breach yields the expected forecast or actual spend notification.
Incorrect Answers
This action targets a different technical need: A central networking account must share an existing Transit Gateway with application accounts without duplicating it. It does not replace either required solution in A or B. AWS RAM can share supported resources while ownership remains in a central account; verify the two stated requirements independently rather than accepting an unrelated change.
This action targets a different technical need: A service needs to replay historical event notifications after a downstream subscriber defect is corrected. It does not replace either required solution in A or B. EventBridge archives support bounded replay of previously captured events; verify the two stated requirements independently rather than accepting an unrelated change.
This action targets a different technical need: Finance needs engineering costs apportioned by team using tags rather than guessed from account totals. It does not replace either required solution in A or B. Cost allocation tags must be activated before they appear in billing cost analytics; verify the two stated requirements independently rather than accepting an unrelated change.
