AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 72

A company has multiple AWS accounts that include compute workloads that cannot be interrupted. The company wants to obtain billing discounts that are based on the company’s use of AWS services.
Which AWS feature or purchasing option will meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Resource tagging
• B. Consolidated billing
• C. Pay-as-you-go pricing
• D. Spot Instances

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Consolidated billing, as it allows multiple AWS accounts to combine their usage for volume discounts. Resource tagging (A) is useful for managing resources but does not provide discounts, while Pay-as-you-go pricing (C) charges based on usage without discounts, and Spot Instances (D) are suitable for interruptible workloads, not for critical tasks.
