i had this question today

It is not recommended to have workload on the management account.

google 'aws how to share ec2 shaving plans among accounts of an organization'

A E, firstly we create an organizatio in the existing AWS account with savings plan, so this account becomes a management account. Secondly, from the console of this account, turn on discount sharing.

Answer from ChatGPT

If the organization is already created, I am feeling A and B are the right one as "To share an Reserved Instance or Savings Plans discount with an account, both accounts must have sharing activated." https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/ri-turn-off.html. If no AWS organization was there, then you need to create an organization, then invite others join, D. then A and B.

For me, E makes no sense as the discount is with a new payer and cannot be transferred to an existing account unless customer service is involved.

Organization should be created by a new account that is reserved for management. Thus D, followed by A (discount sharing must be enabled in the management account).

AE https://repost.aws/questions/QUQoJuQLNOTDiyEuCLARlBFQ/transfer-savings-plan-across-organizations#:~:text=AWS%20Support%20can%20transfer%20Savings%20Plans%20from%20the%20management%20account%20to%20a%20member%20account%20or%20from%20a%20member%20account%20to%20the%20management%20account%20within%20a%20single%20Organization%20with%20an%20AWS%20Support%20Case.

Not E - it mentions using an account with existing EC2s as the management account, which goes against the best practice for a management account https://docs.aws.amazon.com/organizations/latest/userguide/orgs_best-practices_mgmt-acct.html

AE is best

AE is best

- B is not accepted, because "include all accounts", remove B. - D has "Create an organization in AWS Organization in a new payer acocunt", it is wrong, remove D. - at C: AWS Resource Access Manager (AWS RAM) https://aws.amazon.com/ram/ it is for security, not for billing. Remove C. Has A, E remain, and choosed. A. "turn on discount sharing" is ok. This case: Has discount for many EC2 instances in one account, then want to share with other user. At E, create Organization, then share.

I vote AE.

AE are correct !

It's not good practice to create a payer account with any workload so it must be D. By the reason that we need Organizations for sharing, then we need to turn on its from our PAYER account. (all sub-accounts start share discounts)

@alexandercamachop it is AE. I believe its just typo. RAM is not needed anyhow.
