AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 92

A company has several departments. Each department has its own AWS accounts for its applications. The company wants all AWS costs on a single invoice to simplify payment, but the company wants to know the costs that each department is incurring.
Which AWS tool or feature will provide this functionality?

Answer options

• A. AWS Cost and Usage Reports
• B. Consolidated billing
• C. Savings Plans
• D. AWS Budgets

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Consolidated billing, as it allows multiple AWS accounts to be combined into a single invoice while still providing detailed cost information for each account. AWS Cost and Usage Reports (A) offer insights into usage details but do not consolidate billing. Savings Plans (C) are cost-saving options rather than billing strategies, and AWS Budgets (D) help track spending but do not consolidate invoices.
