QuestionQ40

Monitoring, Logging, Analysis, Remediation, and Performance Optimization

A company assigns user-defined tags to resources associated with the company’s AWS workloads. Twenty days after applying the tags, the company finds that it cannot use them to filter views in the AWS Cost Explorer console.

What is causing this issue?

Explanation

User-defined resource tag keys must be explicitly activated as cost allocation tags in the AWS Billing and Cost Management console before they can be used in AWS Cost Explorer. Activation normally completes within up to 24 hours, so waiting 20 days without activation does not make the tags available.
