    AZ-900 · Question 42 · Domain 3.1: Cost Management in Azure

    Scenario: Contoso Ltd is migrating to Azure. They want to estimate costs before migrating, track costs by department after migration, and find ways to reduce costs for workloads that run 24/7.<br/><br/>How can Contoso logically organize their Azure resources so they can track costs by specific departments (e.g., HR, Finance, IT)?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Create a separate Azure Region for each department

    B.

    Apply tags to the resources

    C.

    Use Azure Policy

    D.

    Use Azure Active Directory groups

    How to approach this question

    Think about how you label items to group them together in a spreadsheet.

    Full Answer

    B.Apply tags to the resources✓ Correct
    Tags are name/value pairs that enable you to categorize resources and view consolidated billing by applying the same tag to multiple resources and resource groups. For example, applying a tag like 'Department: HR' allows you to filter Azure Cost Management reports by that department.

    Common mistakes

    Thinking you need a separate subscription for every department. While possible, tagging is the standard way to track costs granularly within a shared environment.
