AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 35

How does consolidated billing help reduce costs for a company that has multiple AWS accounts?

Answer options

• A. It aggregates usage across accounts so that the company can reach volume discount thresholds sooner.
• B. It offers an additional 5% discount on purchases of All Upfront Reserved Instances.
• C. It provides a simplified billing invoice that the company can process more quickly than a standard invoice.
• D. It gives AWS resellers the ability to bill their customers for usage.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as consolidated billing combines the usage from multiple accounts, allowing the company to qualify for volume discounts more quickly. Options B and C describe specific benefits but do not directly address cost reduction through aggregated usage, while option D is unrelated to cost benefits for the company itself.
