If RI sharing is disabled, which statement is true?

• A. RIs will still apply discounts to all accounts in the organization
• B. RIs automatically migrate to the master payer account
• C. RIs within the account will not apply a discount outside of the account
• D. RIs automatically roll over to the next billing cycle

Answer: (C)

Sharing Reserved Instances across accounts determines where the discount can apply. When RI sharing is disabled, the discount is scoped to the account that owns the RI, so usage in other accounts in the organization won’t receive the RI discount. That makes the statement about RIs within the account not applying a discount outside the account true.

The other options don’t fit because: without sharing, discounts don’t flow to other accounts; RIs aren’t automatically migrated to the master payer account, and RIs don’t automatically roll over to the next billing cycle.
