A company uses AWS Organizations with consolidated billing across five accounts. The finance team wants a single report that shows monthly spending by AWS service and by cost allocation tag, with the ability to query the data using Amazon Athena. Which solution should the architect recommend?

Use the AWS Cost Explorer API to retrieve data and store it in Amazon RDS for querying.

Create an AWS Budgets report and export it to Amazon QuickSight for analysis.

Enable the AWS Cost and Usage Report (CUR) and deliver it to Amazon S3, then use Athena to query the data.

Enable Cost Explorer and use the 'Monthly by service' report with tag-based grouping.

A company uses AWS Organizations with multiple accounts. The finance team wants to prevent any account from launching EC2 instances larger than a certain size, but they also want to allow the development team to launch smaller instances for testing. Which solution should the architect implement?

Use service control policies (SCPs) to deny the RunInstances API call for instance types that are not in an allowed list.

Use AWS Config rules to stop instances that are too large.

Use AWS Budgets to alert when a large instance is launched.

Use IAM policies to deny the RunInstances API call for instance types that are not in an allowed list.
