Which AWS tool lets you visualize and analyze your spending patterns over time with graphs and filters?
A.AWS Budgets
Budgets sends alerts when spend crosses thresholds — alerting, not visualization.
B.AWS Cost Explorer
Correct. Cost Explorer is the spend-analysis dashboard.
C.AWS Pricing Calculator
Pricing Calculator estimates future costs before deploying.
D.Cost and Usage Report
CUR provides raw line-item data, not interactive visualization.
Why this answer
Cost Explorer is the interactive spend-visualization tool — filter by service/account/region, view trends, and forecast. Budgets alerts on thresholds; Pricing Calculator estimates before deployment; CUR is raw data export.
