- A
AWS CloudFormation templates with required tags.
Why wrong: AWS CloudFormation templates can include tags but do not enforce tagging policies across environments; they are for provisioning infrastructure, not governance.
- B
AWS Resource Access Manager to share resources.
Why wrong: AWS Resource Access Manager is used to share resources across accounts, not to enforce tagging or compliance.
- C
AWS Config rules to enforce tagging.
Why wrong: AWS Config rules can monitor and enforce tagging compliance, but they are reactive rather than proactive governance; Service Catalog provides a more comprehensive solution for enforcing tagging during provisioning.
- D
AWS Service Catalog with tag options.
AWS Service Catalog allows organizations to create and manage a catalog of approved IT services, and with tag options, it can enforce tagging and compliance policies proactively.
Resource Tagging and Compliance for SAP
This PAS-C01 practice question tests your understanding of design of sap workloads on aws. Match the stated requirement to the specific cloud service, access model, or configuration option — many options are valid in isolation but not for this scenario. A key principle to apply: aWS Service Catalog. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
A company is planning to migrate its SAP landscape to AWS. The landscape includes development, quality assurance, and production systems. The company wants to minimize costs by reusing resources across environments. Which AWS feature should be used to enforce resource tagging and compliance?
Clue words in this question
Noticing these words before you look at the options changes how you read each choice.
Clue:
"minimum / minimize"Why it matters: Asks for the least resource use — fewest addresses, smallest subnet, lowest overhead. Eliminate over-provisioned options even if they would technically work.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
Candidates often confuse AWS Config rules (which can enforce tagging) with the proactive enforcement provided by AWS Service Catalog tag options. Service Catalog enforces tags at the point of provisioning, while Config rules are for compliance monitoring after resources are created.

Key takeaway
AWS Service Catalog
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A startup's cloud architect reviews their monthly bill and notices costs are higher than expected for a long-running batch job. Switching from on-demand instances to Reserved Instances — or using Spot/Preemptible VMs — can reduce compute costs by up to 72 %. Questions like this test whether you understand the tradeoffs between commitment, flexibility, and cost across cloud pricing models.
