SAP-C02 Practice Question: Design Solutions for Organizational Complexity
A company uses AWS Organizations and wants to centralize Amazon VPC IP Address Manager (IPAM) across multiple accounts. Which TWO steps are required to enable cross-account IPAM?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse IPAM pool sharing (which uses RAM) with VPC sharing or network connectivity services like Direct Connect, leading them to select irrelevant options that address different aspects of multi-account networking.

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
✓
Share the IPAM pool using AWS Resource Access Manager (RAM).
AWS Resource Access Manager (RAM) is the service used to share IPAM pools across accounts in an AWS Organization. Sharing the pool allows member accounts to allocate CIDRs from the centrally managed pool without needing direct access to the management account. This enables centralized IP address management while maintaining account isolation.
