Zorluk: OrtaConsolidated Billing and AWS Organizations

A healthcare provider network consolidates three independent clinic AWS accounts under a single organization using AWS Organizations. Clinic A stores 60 TB60\text{ TB} of data in Amazon S3 Standard, while Clinic B stores 40 TB40\text{ TB} of data in Amazon S3 Standard. How does AWS calculate the S3 storage charges for these accounts under consolidated billing?

  1. A
    AWS calculates S3 storage costs for each clinic account independently (60 TB60\text{ TB} and 40 TB40\text{ TB} separately) and sums them up without aggregating the usage for volume tier discounts.
  2. B
    The member accounts must share their root user credentials with the management account in order to enable volume discount aggregation for S3 storage.
  3. AWS combines the S3 storage usage of both accounts (100 TB100\text{ TB} total) to qualify for volume pricing discounts, applying the lower tier rates across the consolidated billing invoice.Cevap
  4. D
    The organization must convert its S3 storage costs into a fixed upfront capital expenditure (CapEx) to qualify for consolidated volume discounts.

Cevap

AWS combines the S3 storage usage of both accounts (100 TB100\text{ TB} total) to qualify for volume pricing discounts, applying the lower tier rates across the consolidated billing invoice.
AWS consolidated billing aggregates the usage of all member accounts in an organization for volume-discounted services such as Amazon S3. In this scenario, the storage from Clinic A (60 TB60\text{ TB}) and Clinic B (40 TB40\text{ TB}) is combined into a single total of 100 TB100\text{ TB}. This combined total is used to determine the pricing tier, allowing the organization to benefit from cheaper per-gigabyte rates for volume thresholds exceeded, rather than calculating each account's storage costs separately.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Aggregate the total storage usage across all active member accounts in the organization.
The usage from Clinic A (60 TB60\text{ TB}) and Clinic B (40 TB40\text{ TB}) is combined to equal 100 TB100\text{ TB}.
AWS consolidated billing combines the usage of a service across all member accounts to determine the volume pricing tier.
2
Apply the volume pricing discounts of Amazon S3 to the aggregated usage total.
The organization pays a lower overall per-gigabyte rate for the storage that falls into the higher volume pricing tiers.
By treating the organization as a single customer account, volume pricing tiers are reached faster, reducing the overall bill.
