A Project Manager, working on AWS for the first time, is confused about how credits are used in AWS. There are two credits available in the manager’s account. Credit one is for $100, expires July 2022, and can be used for either Amazon S3 or Amazon EC2. Credit two is for $50, expires December 2022, and can be used only for Amazon EC2. The manager’s AWS account has incurred two charges: $1000 for Amazon EC2 and $500 for Amazon S3.
What will be the outcome on the overall bill once the credits are used?

- Then, credit two is applied to the remaining $900 of Amazon EC2 usage
