AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 539

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 combines the billing of multiple AWS accounts, allowing them to benefit from pooled usage for volume pricing discounts and shared Savings Plans. AWS Budgets is designed for setting cost thresholds and alerts, while cost allocation tags are used for tracking and organizing resource costs. AWS credits are promotional codes applied to bills and do not facilitate the sharing of volume discounts across accounts.
