Practice Assessment for Exam AZ-900.
Microsoft Azure Fundamentals
Which two factors affect Azure costs? - answer resource usage
resource location
Usage meters, such as CPU time, disk size, and write operations, are used to calculate
your bill for an Azure resource. Deleting or deallocating a resource means that you will
no longer be billed for it. Different regions can have different associated prices.
Resources cost the same no matter the time of day or the day of the week.
You need to compare the costs of running an application in an on-premises datacenter
with the costs of running the application in Azure. - answer Total Cost of Ownership
(TCO) Calculator
The TCO Calculator helps you estimate the cost savings over time of operating a
solution in Azure compared to operating in an on-premises datacenter.
Which two scenarios are common billing use cases for resource tags? -
answercategorizing costs by department
associating costs with different environments
You can use tags to categorize costs by department, such as human resources,
marketing, or finance, or by environment, such as test or production.
You plan to build a new solution in Azure that will use platform as a service (PaaS)
products.
What should you use to estimate the monthly costs? - answerAzure Pricing calculator
The Azure Pricing calculator allows you to estimate and configure according to your
specific requirements.
You will then receive a consolidated estimated price and a detailed breakdown of the
costs associated with each resource you added to your solution.
Which two features are available by using Azure Cost Management + Billing? -
answerCreate and manage budgets.
Generate historical reports and forecast future usage.
, Azure Cost Management allows you to create and manage cost and usage budgets by
monitoring resource demand trends, consumption rates, and cost patterns.
It also allows you to use historical data to generate reports and forecast future usage
and expenditures.
You have an Azure virtual machine that is accessed only between 9:00 and 17:00 each
day.
What should you do to minimize costs but preserve the associated hard disks and data?
- answerDeallocate the virtual machine.
If you have virtual machine workloads that are used only during certain periods, but you
run them every hour of every day, then you are wasting money. These virtual machines
are great candidates to deallocate when not in use and start back when required to
save compute costs while the virtual machines are deallocated.
Your organization plans to deploy several production virtual machines that will have
consistent resource usage throughout the year.
What can you use to minimize the costs of the virtual machines without reducing the
functionality of the virtual machines? - answerAzure Reservations
Azure Reservations offers discounted prices on certain Azure services. Azure
Reservations can save you up to 72 percent compared to pay-as-you-go prices. To
receive a discount, you can reserve services and resources by paying in
advance.Spending limits can suspend a subscription when the spend limit is reached.
You need to identify which Azure services are compliant with ISO 27001 Information
Security Management Standards.
Where should you go to locate the information? - answerMicrosoft Trust Center
The Trust Center showcases the Microsoft principles for maintaining data integrity in the
cloud and how Microsoft implements and supports security, privacy, compliance, and
transparency in all Microsoft cloud products and services.
What can you use to restrict the deployment of a virtual machine to a specific location? -
answerAzure Policy
Azure Policy can help to create a policy for allowed regions, which enables you to
restrict the deployment of virtual machines to a specific location.
What can you use to define the resources you want to provision in a declarative JSON
format? - answerAzure Resource Manager (ARM) templates
