Exam AZ-900 topic 1 question 407 discussion

I think the answer should be Tags.

GPT: Budgets While "usage and quotas" can help you monitor and control the resource usage for your Azure subscriptions, it is not the best option to track the costs of Azure resources. "Usage and quotas" only show the amount of resources being consumed, but do not provide information on how much they cost. In contrast, "budgets" in Azure are a better option to track the costs of Azure resources, as they allow you to set up cost alerts based on your spending threshold, and provide detailed cost and usage reports. This helps you keep track of your spending on Azure resources and make informed decisions on cost optimization. While tags can be useful in categorizing and organizing Azure resources, they are not specifically designed to track the costs of those resources. For tracking costs, budgets in Azure Cost Management and Billing is the appropriate solution. With budgets, you can set spending limits and receive alerts when spending reaches a certain threshold, allowing you to monitor and manage your costs more effectively.

C. Budgets sind speziell dazu gedacht, um die Ausgaben bei der Kostenanalyse zu vergleichen und zu verfolgen. Budgets ermöglichen es Ihnen, die Azure-Dienste abzurechnen, die Sie in einem bestimmten Zeitraum nutzen, und unterstützen somit direkt bei der Kostenüberwachung

C. Budgets Azure budgets allow you to track and control the costs of Azure resources by setting spending thresholds and providing alerts when approaching these limits. This is the most appropriate choice for directly monitoring and managing costs.

We can eliminate A & D from the onset. So this is between B and C B- Tags: Tags can help you manage, identify, organize, search for, and filter resources. You can create tags to categorize resources by purpose, owner, environment, or other criteria. Tags are key-value pairs that can be applied to Azure resources, resource groups, and subscriptions. They are essential for organising and managing resources based on different criteria such as environment (e.g., development, staging, production), department, project, or cost centre C-Azure Budgets is a tool provided by Microsoft as part of the Azure Cost Management solution, to help organizations monitor and control their cloud expenditures. It lets you set customizable budget thresholds based on your spending patterns and business needs. So my answer is B- In order to TRACK something I need to first setup tags in order to properly label and organize my resources. Budgets would be useless with no tags

Copilot - Absolutely, you can use tags to track the costs of Azure resources. Tags are a great way to organize and categorize your resources based on different attributes like environment, department, or project. When you apply tags, you can filter and group resources in Azure Cost Management reports to get a clear picture of costs associated with specific tags. CoPilot:Yes, you can use budgets in Azure Cost Management to track and manage the costs of your Azure resources. Budgets help you monitor your spending by setting cost thresholds, so you get alerts when you're approaching or exceeding your budget limits. This keeps you on top of your cloud expenses and ensures you stay within your financial plans. I would go with "Budgets" since it is related to cost tracking as opposed to resource tracking.

C. budgets Explanation: Azure Budgets allow you to set limits on how much you want to spend on Azure resources and track your spending against that limit. Tags can help organize and categorize resources, making it easier to analyze costs based on specific criteria, but they do not directly track costs. Azure Quickstart templates are used for deploying resources and do not track costs. Usage and quotas provide information on resource consumption but are not specifically designed for tracking costs. Thus, for effective cost management, budgets are the primary tool used in Azure.

Correct answer is budgets there area a tool "budgets alert" to alert by tracking the costs. other options is not for "track the costs" but categorize, organize,

i love how ppl says GPT gave them 4 differents answers, so before you go GPT 2 possible options were in your head after GPT are 4

Tags: Tags are metadata elements you can apply to Azure resources. They are useful for organizing and tracking costs by grouping resources based on department, project, environment, etc. For example, you can assign tags like "Department: Finance" or "Project: XYZ" and then use these tags to generate cost reports and track spending.

In Azure, options B (Tags), C (Budgets), and D (Usage and Quotas) offer distinct approaches to resource management and cost control: Tags help categorize resources for cost analysis by projects or departments but don't directly monitor spending. Budgets are key for cost tracking, allowing thresholds to be set for spending alerts or actions, making it the primary tool for financial oversight. Usage and Quotas focus on resource consumption and service limits, important for operational management rather than direct cost tracking. In essence, while all contribute to efficient Azure management, budgets are the most effective for directly tracking and controlling costs.

C. Budgets Using budgets you can use the FILTER option to track the cost of any resource https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/costs/tutorial-acm-create-budgets

B. Tags should be the answer

It's B
