Microsoft Azure Fundamentals AZ-900 Practice Question
An IT consultant is advising a client on how to optimize their Azure costs. The client uses a variety of services and wants to understand what aspects of their usage could lead to unpredictable changes in their monthly bill. Which factor is likely to contribute to fluctuating Azure costs on a month-to-month basis?
Choosing between standard and premium performance tiers for a storage account
The amount of outbound data transfer from Azure services
Deploying resources consistently across multiple geographic regions
Setting fixed data retention periods for storage accounts
The amount of outbound data transfer, or data egress, can greatly affect Azure costs since there are charges for data that goes out of an Azure region to the internet or to other regions, after the free tier limit is reached. The type of storage account will often have a set price for capacity with known additional costs for operations and outbound transfers. Deploying resources across multiple regions may increase cost due to data egress fees but isn’t necessarily associated with unpredictable fluctuations unless the traffic volume varies significantly. Data retention periods would result in predictable increases in storage costs if the data increases over time but not unpredictable month-to-month changes.
