Does saving plan bought from the linked account share the discount with other linked account in the organization?

Question

Hello team, if a saving plan is purchased from the linked account in the organization, can it share its discount benefits with the other linked account in an organization? or saving plan discount cannot be shared and only used under the same account from it purchased?

Answer

Hi
Unless sharing has been turned off, https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/ri-turn-off.html#ri-turn-off-process the default behaviour is that Savings Plan purchased in any account is shared with the organisation. Sharing can be turned on again for all or a set of accounts https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/ri-turn-off.html#ri-turn-on-process

From the FAQ:

```
How do Savings Plans work with AWS Organizations/Consolidated Billing?

Savings Plans can be purchased in any account within an AWS Organization/Consolidated Billing family.
By default, the benefit provided by Savings Plans is applicable to usage across all accounts within an AWS 
Organization/consolidated billing family. 
However, you can also choose to restrict the benefit of Savings Plans to only the account that purchased them.
