AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 793

A company is defining its AWS multi-account strategy. The company needs to control access to AWS services and needs to consolidate billing across accounts.

Which AWS service should the company use to meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. AWS Organizations
• B. AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)
• C. AWS Billing and Cost Management
• D. Amazon Cognito

Correct answer: A

Explanation

AWS Organizations is the correct choice because it enables consolidated billing across multiple AWS accounts and allows administrators to centrally control access to AWS services using Service Control Policies (SCPs). While AWS IAM manages access within individual accounts, it does not consolidate billing. AWS Billing and Cost Management helps track and analyze spending but does not manage multi-account service access, and Amazon Cognito is used for application user authentication rather than account governance.
