Which AWS service or feature can a company use to estimate AWS costs before provisioning workloads?
AWS Pricing Calculator
AWS Cost and Usage Report
Cost Explorer
AWS Budgets
Explanations:
The AWS Pricing Calculator allows users to estimate the cost of AWS services based on their planned usage and configurations, making it ideal for estimating costs before provisioning workloads.
The AWS Cost and Usage Report provides detailed billing information but does not allow for cost estimation prior to provisioning; it is more focused on analyzing costs after they have been incurred.
Cost Explorer is a tool for analyzing historical spending and trends, rather than for estimating future costs based on workload planning.
AWS Budgets is used to set spending limits and monitor costs against those limits but does not provide an estimation tool for costs before provisioning workloads.
