A company manages 20 AWS accounts under AWS Organizations. Which benefit does consolidated billing provide at no extra cost?
A.A single bill plus combined usage volume for discounted pricing tiers
Correct. One bill + pooled volume pricing is the feature's purpose.
B.Automatic cost optimization of idle resources
Cost optimization requires tools like Compute Optimizer — billing consolidation doesn't act on resources.
C.Free migration of workloads between accounts
Account migration isn't a billing feature.
D.Removal of all service quotas across member accounts
Service quotas are independent of billing structure.
Why this answer
Consolidated billing rolls all member-account usage into one payer bill — combining usage volume to reach lower pricing tiers (e.g., S3 volume discounts) while preserving per-account cost visibility.
