A retail company has structured its AWS accounts to be part of an organization in AWS Organizations. The company has set up consolidated billing and has mapped its departments to the following OUs: Finance, Sales, Human Resources (HR), Marketing, and Operations. Each OU has multiple AWS accounts, one for each environment within a department. These environments are development, test, pre-production, and production. The HR department is releasing a new system that will launch in 3 months. In preparation, the HR department has purchased several Reserved Instances (RIs) in its production AWS account. The HR department will install the new application on this account. The HR department wants to make sure that other departments cannot share the RI discounts. Which solution will meet these requirements?

From the management account, turn off RI sharing for the HR production account. This is the correct approach. The management account can disable "shared RI discount allocation" for specific linked accounts. This ensures only HR’s production account uses its RIs — no cross-account discounting.
