AWS - Account and Billing
You configured a budget alert in AWS Budgets but did not receive any notification emails. What is the most probable reason?
AThe alert emails are sent only after the billing cycle ends
BThe budget threshold was set too low
CThe AWS account is not linked to a payment method
DThe alert notification was not subscribed to an active SNS topic
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Check notification setup

    Alerts use SNS topics to send notifications; subscription is required.

  2. Step 2: Understand other options

    Threshold too low would trigger alerts, payment method missing affects billing but not alerts, emails are sent when threshold is crossed, not only after cycle.

  3. Final Answer:

    The alert notification was not subscribed to an active SNS topic -> Option D

  4. Quick Check:

    Alerts require SNS subscription [OK]
Quick Trick: SNS subscription needed for alert emails [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Assuming alerts send emails without SNS
  • Believing alerts wait until billing cycle ends
  • Thinking payment method affects alert delivery
