Your company has 10 departments.\nThe company plans to implement an Azure environment.\nYou need to ensure that each department can use a different payment option for the Azure services it consumes.\nWhat should you create for each department?\nA. a reservation\nB. a subscription\nC. a resource group\nD. a container instance

Answer Options

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

Correct Answer

B: a subscription

Explanation

There are different payment options in Azure including pay-as-you-go (PAYG), Enterprise Agreement (EA), and Microsoft Customer Agreement\n(MCA) accounts.\nYour Azure costs are 'per subscription'. You are charged monthly for all resources in a subscription. Therefore, to use different payment options\nper department, you will need to create a separate subscription per department. You can create multiple subscriptions in a single Azure Active\nDirectory tenant.\nIncorrect Answers:\nA: 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\nthe resource for the reservation period. Reservations do not provide a way to use different payment options per department.\nC: 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,\nresource groups do not provide a way to use different payment options per department.\nD: A container instance is an Azure resource used to run an application. Container instances do not provide a way to use different payment\noptions per department.
