Exam AZ-900 topic 1 question 316 discussion

Is this question right? I believe just need a subscription and not an Enterprise Agreement.

"Cost Management includes all usage and purchases, including reservations and third-party offerings for Enterprise Agreement (EA) accounts. **********Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA) accounts and individual subscriptions with pay-as-you-go rates only include usage from Azure and Marketplace services. Support and other costs are not included.****** Costs are estimated until an invoice is generated and do not factor in credits." https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/cost-management/understand-cost-mgt-data

Answer: D - a pay-as-you-go subscription Definition: "Microsoft Cost Management helps organizations analyze, monitor, and optimize their Microsoft Cloud costs. Cost Management is available to anyone with access to an Azure billing account, subscription, resource group, or management group." So we need a SUBSCRIPTION. This eliminates B & C. Now it is a toss-up between a & D Azure Cost Management is available for most Azure subscriptions, including pay-as-you-go, Visual Studio, and Enterprise Agreement subscriptions In addition , a Dev/Test pricing gives customers access to select Azure services for nonproduction workloads at discounted pricing under the Microsoft Customer Agreement. So this if available would not be indicative of real prices

The answer is either C or D; To use Azure Cost Management, you’ll need the following: Azure Subscription: You must have an active Azure subscription. This can be a pay-as-you-go account, an enterprise agreement, or any other type of Azure subscription.

Answer should be "D", by the way below link already shared in the same question!!! https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/cost-management/overview-cost-mgt Cost Management is available from within the Billing experience. It's also available from every subscription, resource group, and management group in the Azure portal.

this is pay as you go

It's definitely D. I use Azure for my own personal website with a pay-as-you-go subscription and I just signed into the portal and I clearly see the 'Cost Management + Billing | Cost Management' service appearing for my subscription. I do not have any enterprise agreement whatsoever because I'm just an individual with limited budget, not an organization.

pay as you go should be the correct answer.

According to Microsoft, Azure Cost Management is enabled by default for Enterprise Agreement and Pay-As-You-Go customers, so there is no need to enable it separately. So, both C and D should be correct here https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/cost-management

C. Cost Management includes all usage and purchases, including reservations and third-party offerings for Enterprise Agreement (EA) accounts. Microsoft Customer Agreement accounts and individual subscriptions with pay-as-you-go rates only include usage from Azure and Marketplace services. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/cost-management-billing/costs/understand-cost-mgt-data

Question is makes no sense, this has dual answer. Can go with both EA & Pay as you go. Do I need to enable Microsoft Cost Management? No, Microsoft Cost Management is on by default for Microsoft Enterprise Agreement and Pay-As-You-Go customers. Reference (check FAQ at bottom): https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/cost-management/

Note: Azure Cost Management is available for both pay-as-you-go and enterprise agreement customers. Some features may not be available for all customers.

Answer is C Azure portal supports the following type of billing accounts: Microsoft Online Services Program Enterprise Agreement Microsoft Customer Agreement Microsoft Partner Agreement https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/cost-management-billing/manage/view-all-accounts

For users with Azure Enterprise Agreements, users' level of access to Cost Management data is determined by a combination of permissions granted in the Azure portal and Enterprise portal (EA). For users with other types of Azure accounts, you can more easily define the user's level of access to Cost Management data by using Azure role-based access control (Azure RBAC). This article explains how to assign access to Cost Management data. After the combination of permissions is assigned, the users can view data in Cost Management based on their scope of access and the scope they select in the Azure portal.

How do I enable cost management in Azure? Enable access to costs in the Azure portal To enable an option in the Azure portal: Sign in to the Azure portal at https://portal.azure.com with an enterprise administrator account. Select the Cost Management + Billing menu item. Select Billing scopes to view a list of available billing scopes and billing accounts

Azure Cost Management is a free solution offered to Azure cloud customers via the Azure portal.
