AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 570

A large company wants to track the combined AWS usage costs of all of its linked accounts.

How can this be accomplished?

Answer options

• A. Use AWS Trusted Advisor to generate customized summary reports.
• B. Use AWS Organizations to generate consolidated billing reports.
• C. Use AWS Budgets to set utilization targets and receive summary reports.
• D. Use the AWS Control Tower dashboard to get a summary report of all inked account costs.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

AWS Organizations offers a consolidated billing feature that aggregates billing data and usage costs across all linked member accounts into a single management account. While AWS Budgets can monitor spending thresholds and AWS Trusted Advisor offers cost optimization recommendations, they do not generate consolidated multi-account billing reports. AWS Control Tower is used for governance and setting up landing zones, not for primary billing aggregation.
