• A) Use Cost Explorer to perform one-time queries for each Region and create a report that filters by project.
• B) Use the AWS Billing and Cost Management details page to see the actual usage costs of the resources by project.
• C) Use AWS Systems Manager to group resources by project and monitor each project's resources and cost.
