AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 610

A company's procurement department wants volume discounts on AWS services for the company, but numerous departments have separate AWS accounts.

Which AWS service or tool can the company use to receive volume discounts across multiple AWS accounts?

Answer options

• A. Cost Explorer
• B. AWS Budgets
• C. AWS Cost and Usage Report
• D. AWS Organizations

Correct answer: D

Explanation

AWS Organizations enables consolidated billing, which aggregates usage across all linked accounts to help the organization qualify for volume discounts. While Cost Explorer, AWS Budgets, and AWS Cost and Usage Report are excellent for analyzing, tracking, and reporting on cloud spend, they do not provide the account consolidation capability required for volume pricing.
