Domain: Describe cloud concepts
Topic: Describe cloud computing
Difficulty: medium
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
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
(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.
