Correct answer: As part of account creation, use AWS Budgets to create a fixed monthly budget for each developer’s account., Create an SCP that denies access to identified costly services and components. Apply that SCP to the developer accounts., Create an AWS Budgets alert action that sends an Amazon SNS notification when the budget threshold is reached and have that notification invoke an AWS Lambda function to terminate services..
Why this is the answer
To manage costs and prevent overspending, establishing a fixed monthly budget for each developer account using AWS Budgets during account creation is crucial. This sets clear financial boundaries. An SCP that denies access to costly services directly prevents developers from launching expensive resources, enforcing cost control at the organizational level. While an IAM policy could also deny access, an SCP is more effective for enforcing guardrails across multiple accounts in an AWS Organization. Finally, an AWS Budgets alert action that sends an SNS notification to invoke a Lambda function allows for automated termination of services when the budget threshold is reached, providing a programmatic way to stop runaway costs. Terminating all services automatically via a direct Budgets action is too aggressive and lacks the fine-grained control offered by a Lambda function.
