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 AWS Organizations payer account as the Capacity Reservation owner.

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

Note

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.

Use one of the following methods to initiate a request.
