AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 239

An organization is planning to create 5 different AWS accounts considering various security requirements. The organization wants to use a single payee account by using the consolidated billing option. Which of the below mentioned statements is true with respect to the above information?

Answer options

• A. Master (Payee. account will get only the total bill and cannot see the cost incurred by each account
• B. Master (Payee. account can view only the AWS billing details of the linked accounts
• C. It is not recommended to use consolidated billing since the payee account will have access to the linked accounts
• D. Each AWS account needs to create an AWS billing policy to provide permission to the payee account

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the Master (Payee) account can indeed view the billing details of each linked account, which allows for better management of costs. Option A is incorrect because the payee account does have visibility into the costs of linked accounts. Option C is misleading, as consolidated billing is a recommended practice for managing multiple accounts, and option D is incorrect because individual billing policies are not required for the payee account.
