AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 971

Which AWS service of tool helps to centrally manage billing and allow controlled access to resources across AWS accounts?

Answer options

• A. AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)
• B. AWS Organizations
• C. Cost Explorer
• D. AWS Budgets

Correct answer: B

Explanation

AWS Organizations is designed to centrally manage and govern multiple AWS accounts, offering consolidated billing and access control through Service Control Policies (SCPs). While AWS IAM handles permissions within an individual account, it does not consolidate billing across multiple accounts. Cost Explorer and AWS Budgets are financial tools used for analyzing and monitoring costs, rather than managing account resources or access.
