RI sharing in redshift

Question

I have consolidated billing at the company and I intend to remove the existing Redshift nodes in one account and upload them to another.
Can I share the reservation purchased on the previous account and use it on the other one where I will upload the nodes?

Note: both are daughter accounts

Hi There

Yes, the pricing benefits of Reserved Nodes are shared when the purchasing account is part of a set of accounts billed under one consolidated billing payer account.  As long as the node type and region are the same, the RI will apply.

See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/mgmt/purchase-reserved-node-instance.html

You can use the console to activate Reserved Instance sharing discounts for an account.
