Correct answer: AWS Pricing Calculator.
Why this is the answer
The AWS Pricing Calculator is the correct tool because it allows users to estimate the cost of their AWS services. You can input details about your planned infrastructure (e.g., EC2 instances, storage, data transfer) and receive a detailed cost breakdown. The AWS Well-Architected Framework provides guidance on building secure, high-performing, resilient, and efficient infrastructure, but it doesn't estimate costs. The AWS shared responsibility model defines security responsibilities between AWS and the customer, not cost estimation. The AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (AWS CAF) helps organizations develop a comprehensive plan for cloud adoption, focusing on strategy and people, not specific cost calculations.
