Assign billing of a shared EC2 Capacity Reservation to another account

To assign billing of the available capacity of a shared Capacity Reservation to another account, the Capacity Reservation owner must initiate a request to the required account. In the Amazon EC2 console, this request is called a transfer request.

A Capacity Reservation owner can assign billing of the available capacity of Capacity Reservation to an account only if:

  • The Capacity Reservation is already shared with that account.

  • The account is consolidated under the same Amazon Organizations payer account as the Capacity Reservation owner.

Billing is assigned to the specified account only once they accept the request.

When a Capacity Reservation owner initiates a request, an Amazon EventBridge event is sent to the requested account. For more information, see Monitor billing assignment requests for shared Capacity Reservations.
