Actual exam question from Microsoft's AZ-900

Question #: 320
Topic #: 1

Your company has 10 departments.
The company plans to implement an Azure environment.
You need to ensure that each department can use a different payment option for the Azure services it consumes.
What should you create for each department?

A. a reservation
B. a subscription
C. a resource group
D. a container instance

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B 🗳️
There are different payment options in Azure including pay-as-you-go (PAYG), Enterprise Agreement (EA), and Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA) accounts.
Your Azure costs are 'per subscription'. You are charged monthly for all resources in a subscription. Therefore, to use different payment options per department, you will need to create a separate subscription per department. You can create multiple subscriptions in a single Azure Active Directory tenant.
Incorrect Answers:
A: A reservation is where you commit to a resource (for example a virtual machine) for one or three years. This gives you a discounted price on the resource for the reservation period. Reservations do not provide a way to use different payment options per department.
C: A resource group is a logical container for Azure resources. You can view the total cost of all the resources in a resource group. However, resource groups do not provide a way to use different payment options per department.
D: A container instance is an Azure resource used to run an application. Container instances do not provide a way to use different payment options per department.

Yes - "2. Public preview – during this phase we allow any customer with the proper Azure AD license to evaluate the new feature. " Maybe this question can be evaluated as NO as it is stating "ny customer with the proper Azure AD license" needs to be confirmed ! and also there is relation that not all region have this same services sometimes we have a geographical limitation so I'm also thinking that this should be no.
