Question 320
A deployed environment still does not meet the original requirement: A platform service incurs shared transfer charges that cannot be assigned to consuming product teams. Which underlying cause should be investigated first?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the technical design error aligned with the unmet requirement. CUR data and explicit allocation logic improve auditable cost attribution. The appropriate correction is: Enable detailed Cost and Usage Reports with cost categories or properly activated allocation tags. The control should then be tested by verifying that Chargeback results trace shared spend to accounted requests or accountable service consumers.
Incorrect Answers
WAF rules are deployed without visibility into which requests they affect. The stated evidence instead indicates: Shared costs are assigned by arbitrary percentage without service consumption evidence.
Instances remain oversized based only on purchase history rather than performance evidence. The stated evidence instead indicates: Shared costs are assigned by arbitrary percentage without service consumption evidence.
Teams purchase more RIs independently without measuring existing shared coverage. The stated evidence instead indicates: Shared costs are assigned by arbitrary percentage without service consumption evidence.
