• E. Create an organization in AWS Organizations in the existing AWS account with the existing EC2 instances and Savings Plan. Invite the other AWS accounts to join the organization from the management account ✓

Correct Answer: C. From the AWS Organizations management account, use AWS Resource Access Manager(AWS RAM) to share the Savings Plan with other accounts, E. Create an organization in AWS Organizations in the existing AWS account with the existing EC2 instances and Savings Plan. Invite the other AWS accounts to join the organization from the management account

Explanation

Option A is incorrect because turning on discount sharing from the billing preferences section in the management account does not automatically share the Savings Plan discount with other AWS accounts. Option B is incorrect because turning on discount sharing from the billing preferences section in the account that purchased the existing Savings Plan only shares the discount with other accounts under the same payer account, not across different payer accounts.Option D is incorrect because creating a new payer account and inviting other AWS accounts to join an organization does not automatically share the Savings Plan discount with those accounts. Option C is correct because using AWS Resource Access Manager (AWS RAM) to share the Savings Plan with other accounts allows the company to share the Savings Plan discount across different AWS accounts under different payer accounts.Option E is correct because creating an organization in the existing AWS account with the existing EC2 instances and Savings Plan and inviting other AWS accounts to join the organization from the management account allows the company to share the Savings Plan discount across different AWS accounts under different payer accounts.
