Correct Answer is yes, below are the simple steps to fetch consolidated cost report for each Resource Group (department in this case). 1. Open Azure portal and navigate to subscription and then cost analysis (under cost management). 2. A consolidated view will appear with a nice main diagram and multiple pie charts and one of them is showing costs for each resource group. 3. You may also select "Resource Group Name" under option "Group by" on the main chart. This will bring also bring a consolidated view for each resource group!

The key point is "Assign tags to each resource" , as tags are not inherited which means if you assign a tag to a RG >> it will not propagated/inherited to the underneath resources , so you MUST assign tags to each individual resource.

Resource Groups are used to delegate administration, not for cost allocation. Tags should be used for this purpose!

But in this question, it says "You need to recommend a solution to ...". The solution can solve the problem, but is not the recommended solution by administrator. So "No" is right.

I guess this question was designed to raise awareness of tags. It just needs a better formulation. At the exam, yes to all that have tag on it I supposej, smiling.

I would go for yes, eventhough this is not recommended because sometime isolation is more a requirement than cost. So the goal is met. so "Yes".

That would probably meet the goal of getting cost report per department, but would it be feasible in general? Having one RG per department is not a Best Practice and would cause other implications (like difficult permission management etc.). Would they consider a solution 'meeting the goal' in that case?
