SAP-C02 Practice Question: Design Solutions for Organizational Complexity
A company is designing a multi-account strategy using AWS Organizations. Which TWO benefits does this approach provide? (Choose TWO.)
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse consolidated billing with direct cost reduction for EC2 instances, not realizing that aggregation only enables volume discounts and does not lower the per-instance price automatically.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Centrally enforce policies using service control policies (SCPs).
Service control policies (SCPs) allow you to centrally manage permissions for all accounts in your AWS Organizations hierarchy. SCPs act as a guardrail, enabling you to define the maximum available permissions for IAM roles and users across member accounts without granting any permissions themselves. This ensures consistent enforcement of security and compliance policies across the entire organization.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Centrally enforce policies using service control policies (SCPs).
Why this is correct
SCPs apply to all accounts in the organization.
- ✗
Automatically create VPC peering connections between accounts.
Why it's wrong here
VPC peering must be set up manually or via automation, not automatic.
- ✗
Simplify cross-region replication for Amazon RDS databases.
Why it's wrong here
Cross-region replication is configured per database, not affected by account structure.
- ✓
Isolate workloads and provide a boundary for security and cost management.
Why this is correct
Each account is a billing and security boundary.
- ✗
Reduce the total cost of EC2 instances by aggregating usage across accounts.
Why it's wrong here
Cost reduction from aggregation is from consolidated billing, not from multiple accounts themselves.
