A. Enable Receiving Billing Reports
B. Enable Receiving Billing Alerts
C. Enable AWS billing utility
D. Enable CloudWatch Billing Threshold

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

Explanation: AWS CloudWatch supports enabling the billing alarm on the total AWS charges. Before the user can create an alarm on the estimated charges, he must enable monitoring of the estimated AWS charges, by selecting the option “Enable receiving billing alerts”. It takes about 15 minutes before the user can view the billing data. The user can then create the alarms.
