AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 169

Which AWS Organizations feature can be used to track charges across multiple accounts and report the combined cost?

Answer options

• A. Service control policies (SCPs)
• B. Cost Explorer
• C. Consolidated billing
• D. AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Consolidated billing is the correct answer because it enables organizations to combine billing across multiple AWS accounts, making it easier to manage and track costs together. Service control policies (SCPs) are used for managing permissions, while Cost Explorer is a tool for visualizing and analyzing costs but does not combine billing. AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is focused on managing user access and permissions, not billing.
