Question

Difficulty: Very hardAWS Marketplace

An enterprise wants to purchase a third-party firewall solution from AWS Marketplace. The organization requires a customized pricing agreement with a multi-year commitment and a structured payment schedule. Additionally, the finance team wants all software charges consolidated into the parent company's master AWS bill, while the security team needs to verify operational responsibilities for patching the operating system of the deployed Amazon Machine Image (AMI). Which combination of AWS Marketplace features and AWS billing and security policies satisfies these requirements?

  1. Negotiate the terms using AWS Marketplace Private Offers, consolidate charges using AWS Organizations consolidated billing, and assign the responsibility of patching the operating system of the deployed AMI to the customer.Answer
  2. B
    Negotiate the terms using AWS Marketplace Private Offers, consolidate charges using AWS Organizations consolidated billing, and assign the responsibility of patching the operating system of the deployed AMI to the software seller.
  3. C
    Generate an estimate using the AWS Pricing Calculator to secure custom contract terms, consolidate charges using AWS Organizations consolidated billing, and assign the responsibility of patching the operating system of the deployed AMI to AWS.
  4. D
    Negotiate the terms using AWS Marketplace Private Offers, establish separate direct invoicing with the seller to bypass AWS consolidated billing, and assign the responsibility of patching the operating system of the deployed AMI to the software seller.

Answer

Negotiate the terms using AWS Marketplace Private Offers, consolidate charges using AWS Organizations consolidated billing, and assign the responsibility of patching the operating system of the deployed AMI to the customer.
The correct answer combines AWS Marketplace Private Offers (for customized terms/schedules), AWS Organizations consolidated billing (for unified invoicing), and customer responsibility for patching the guest operating system of the AMI. This correctly matches all operational, financial, and security requirements.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the pricing and contract customization requirement.
AWS Marketplace Private Offers is identified as the correct feature that allows sellers to offer customized pricing, payment schedules, and end-user license agreements to specific AWS accounts.
Standard public pricing does not accommodate multi-year customized payment schedules.
2
Analyze the billing consolidation requirement.
AWS Organizations consolidated billing integrates AWS Marketplace purchases directly into the management account's monthly invoice.
This satisfies the requirement to aggregate third-party software costs into the parent company's master AWS bill.
3
Determine the operating system patching responsibility for a deployed customer-managed AMI.
According to the AWS Shared Responsibility Model, the customer is responsible for maintaining and patching the guest operating system on EC2 instances launched from AMIs.
While the seller provides the software package, the instance runs inside the customer's VPC and under the customer's control.

Key Concept

AWS Marketplace procurement, consolidated billing integration, and the Shared Responsibility Model applied to customer-deployed AMIs.
