SAP-C02 Practice Question: Design Solutions for Organizational Complexity
A company uses AWS Organizations with hundreds of accounts. The central IT team wants to manage IP address ranges for VPCs across all accounts using a custom AWS Resource Access Manager (RAM) resource share. They have created a resource share containing the IP address CIDR blocks (as managed prefix lists) and shared it with the organization. However, some accounts cannot see the shared prefix lists. What is the MOST likely cause?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates assume sharing with an organization works automatically without any prerequisite configuration, overlooking the explicit enablement step required in the management account.
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
✓
The organization's sharing feature for Amazon VPC is not enabled in the management account.
AWS Organizations requires the 'Enable sharing with AWS Organizations' feature to be explicitly enabled in the management account for RAM to share resources with all accounts in the organization. Without this setting, resource shares are limited to individual accounts, and prefix lists shared via RAM will not be visible to member accounts.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
The organization's sharing feature for Amazon VPC is not enabled in the management account.
Why this is correct
RAM requires enabling sharing with AWS Organizations for each service; VPC sharing must be enabled.
- ✗
Managed prefix lists are not supported by AWS RAM.
Why it's wrong here
AWS RAM supports sharing of prefix lists and other VPC resources.
- ✗
The accounts need to accept the resource share invitation manually.
Why it's wrong here
When sharing with an organization, resources are automatically shared; no acceptance is needed.
- ✗
The resource share can only include one type of resource at a time.
Why it's wrong here
RAM resource shares can contain multiple resource types.
