Exam AZ-900 topic 1 question 314 discussion

Only with Premier it's possible to "request an architectural review of an Azure environment from Microsoft." and this is what's being asked. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/plans/ Premier support plan --> Architecture Support "Customer specific architectural support such as design reviews, performance tuning, configuration and implementation assistance delivered by Microsoft Azure technical specialists." Professional Direct support plan it's not enough since it only provides "Architectural guidance based on best practice delivered by ProDirect Delivery Manager" Developer and Standard are not valid options.

Yes premiere is the most expensive but: Basic has no architecture support Developer has only general guidance Standard has only general guidance Professional has Architectural guidance based on best practice delivered by ProDirect Delivery Manager only premiere has architectural support such as design reviews

D is the correct

CoPilot says its B

I believe premier best supports this

The correct answer is: **D. Standard** ### Explanation: The **Standard** support plan provides access to architectural reviews, which are not available with the **Basic** support plan. It also includes faster response times and other features that are suitable for production workloads, at a lower cost than **Professional Direct** or **Premier**. Here’s a breakdown of the plans: - **Basic:** No architectural review; minimal support. - **Developer:** Intended for non-production environments and does not include architectural reviews. - **Standard:** Provides architectural reviews and is cost-effective for production environments. - **Professional Direct:** Includes architectural reviews but is more expensive than **Standard**. - **Premier:** The most comprehensive and expensive, designed for large enterprises with advanced needs. To minimize costs while meeting the requirement, the **Standard** plan is the best option.

The answer is B, the only plans that offer architecture support are Developer, Standard, and Professional. professional offers Guidance from a pool of ProDirect delivery managers, and both developer and standard both offer general guidance, but the standard plan is more expensive than the developer plan. so since the question is asking which support plan minimizes cost, its obvious the best answer is developer. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/plans#:~:text=ARCHITECTURE%20SUPPORT,ProDirect%20delivery%20managers

Yes, the Developer Support Plan does provide some support for architectural considerations, but it’s essential to understand its limitations

Microsoft Copilot: B. Developer Most Voted The Developer support plan is the most cost-effective option that includes architectural support¹. It costs $29 per month and provides general architectural guidance during business hours¹. However, please note that the support is available by email only during business hours¹. If the company requires more comprehensive support, they may need to consider a higher-tier plan. But for minimizing costs and getting architectural support, the Developer plan is the most suitable¹.

B developers support it and is the cheaper
