Consolidated Billing

AWS Organizations feature that combines all member accounts' charges into one bill paid by the management account.

Definition

Consolidated billing provides a single payment method and invoice, aggregates usage across accounts to reach volume pricing tiers sooner, and lets Reserved Instance and Savings Plans discounts be shared across accounts (sharing can be turned off per account).

Example

Ten accounts' S3 usage is combined, reaching a lower per-GB price tier than any account alone.

Exam tip

Combined usage for volume discounts and shared commitment benefits are the key advantages tested.
