AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 503

A company that has multiple AWS accounts wants to reduce its recurring cloud costs. The company is using AWS Organizations.

Which AWS tool or feature will share volume pricing discounts and Savings Plans among accounts?

Answer options

• A. AWS Budgets
• B. Consolidated billing
• C. AWS credits
• D. Cost allocation tags

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Consolidated billing is a feature of AWS Organizations that aggregates billing across all linked accounts, which allows them to collectively qualify for volume-based discounts and share Savings Plans. AWS Budgets is a tool for monitoring costs and setting alerts, whereas cost allocation tags are used for categorizing and tracking resource expenses. AWS credits are promotional incentives and do not inherently facilitate discount sharing across multiple organization accounts.
