Contoso Ltd wants to ensure that their Azure environment is cost-effective while also maintaining necessary security and compliance standards. Which combination of tools should they use to achieve this?
Answer Options
A
Use Azure Cost Management and Budgets to monitor and control spending, and Azure Policy to enforce security and compliance standards.
B
Set up Azure Cost Alerts to notify when spending exceeds a certain threshold, and use Management Groups to organize resources.
C
Create Management Groups to organize resources into logical groups for easier management, and use Resource Locks to prevent deletion.
D
Implement Resource Locks to prevent the deletion of specific resources or resource groups, and use Cost Alerts to monitor spending.
Correct Answer
A: Use Azure Cost Management and Budgets to monitor and control spending, and Azure Policy to enforce security and compliance standards.
Explanation
The correct answer is to use Azure Cost Management and Budgets along with Azure Policy. Cost Management and Budgets help monitor and control spending, while Azure Policy enforces security and compliance standards. Management Groups can be used for organizational purposes but do not directly control costs or enforce policies. Resource locks can prevent deletion but do not control spending or enforce policies.
