A company runs workloads across dozens of AWS accounts. They want combined volume discounts and a single bill with per-account visibility. Which AWS Organizations feature provides this?
A.Service control policies
SCPs control permissions across accounts, not billing.
B.Consolidated billing
Correct. Consolidated billing combines usage for discounts and a single bill.
C.AWS Cost and Usage Report alone
CUR reports usage but doesn't consolidate billing or enable volume discounts.
D.Tag policies
Tag policies standardize tags; they don't affect billing structure.
Why this answer
Consolidated billing rolls all member-account usage into one payer bill — unlocking combined volume pricing tiers (e.g., cheaper S3/data-transfer rates) while still tracking per-account costs. Free with Organizations.
