The report can be shared with other accounts either by sharing the S3 bucket or by sharing the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role with the appropriate permissions.
The correct answer is (A) Request Management account owner to share Cost & Usage report from specified S3 bucket in management account.
Explanation: AWS Organizations is a service that allows you to centrally manage multiple AWS accounts across different departments or business units. This can help you to manage costs and improve security by applying policies across all accounts. One of the key challenges of managing multiple accounts is keeping track of costs across all accounts.
To address this challenge, AWS provides a service called AWS Cost & Usage Reports. AWS Cost & Usage Reports provide detailed information about the usage and costs of AWS resources for each account within an AWS Organization. The report contains detailed information about the resources used, the cost of each resource, and the tags associated with the resource.
To configure AWS Cost & Usage Reports for an AWS Organization, you need to create a report in the Management account of the organization. The report can be created using the AWS Cost Explorer service. Once the report is created, it can be shared with other accounts by sharing the S3 bucket or by sharing the IAM role with the appropriate permissions.
Option (A) is the correct answer because it is asking to share the Cost & Usage report from a specified S3 bucket in the management account, which is the correct way to share the report. Option (B) is incorrect because it is asking to share the report from the specified S3 bucket in each member account, which is not necessary since the report is created in the management account. Option (C) is incorrect because it is asking to request the member account owner to share the report from the specified S3 bucket in the management account, which is not necessary since the report is created in the management account. Option (D) is incorrect because it is asking to request the member account owner to share the report from the specified S3 bucket in each member account, which is not necessary since the report is created in the management account.
