Exam: az-900
Domain: Describe Azure management and governance
Topic: Describe cost management in Azure
Difficulty: medium
A company is planning to migrate its on-premises infrastructure to Azure. They want to estimate the total cost of ownership (TCO) for their new Azure environment. Which tool or feature should they use to get an accurate cost estimate before migration?
Answer Options
A
Azure Cost Management + Billing
B
Azure Pricing Calculator
C
Azure Advisor
D
Azure Cost Management + Billing
Correct Answer
B: Azure Pricing Calculator
Explanation
The correct answer is B, the Azure Pricing Calculator. The Pricing Calculator provides detailed cost estimates based on the services and resources selected, helping the company understand the potential costs before migration. Option A, Cost Management & Budgets, is used for monitoring and managing costs after deployment, not for initial cost estimation. Option C, Azure Advisor, provides recommendations for optimizing costs but does not provide cost estimates. Option D, Azure Cost Management + Billing, is used for analyzing and managing costs post-deployment, not for pre-migration cost estimation.
