Your company has an Azure subscription that contains the following unused resources:
✑ 20 user accounts in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)
✑ Five groups in Azure AD
✑ 10 public IP addresses
✑ 10 network interfaces
You need to reduce the Azure costs for the company.
Solution: You remove the unused user accounts.
Does this meet the goal?

  • A. Yes
  • B. No
Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B 🗳️
You are not charged for user accounts. Therefore, deleting unused user accounts will not reduce the Azure costs for the company.

Not sure if I understand it correctly, but it looks like Premium versions of Azure AD are charged per user: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/pricing/details/active-directory/ Now, the question does not says what kind of AD subscription we are talking about, so I guess free, so answer would be B. But if we are talking about P1 or P2, answer should be A.

They're using AD groups which are only available in premium. So the answer is A.

I think the clue is in the fact that the accounts are unused, so the answer is B.

Yes, removing the unused network interfaces can help reduce Azure costs for the company. Network interfaces are charged based on the number of hours they exist, regardless of their association with a virtual machine. So removing unused network interfaces can help reduce costs. So the correct answer to your question is A. Yes.

read the questions carefully. They ask if the solution like 'removing unused accounts' meets the goal of reducing costs to the firm.

Only free AD license has no fees per user. The rest is charged: Basic 1$ per user per month, Premium P1 6$ per user per month, Premium P2 9$ per user per month. https://www.agileit.com/news/understanding-azure-active-directory-licensing-free-basic-p1-p2/ https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/active-directory/?&ef_id=EAIaIQobChMIidK5z-n_7gIVGEeRBR079AVCEAAYASAAEgLrB_D_BwE:G:s&OCID=AID2100098_SEM_EAIaIQobChMIidK5z-n_7gIVGEeRBR079AVCEAAYASAAEgLrB_D_BwE:G:s&dclid=CKa2ttHp_-4CFSutmgod6SYLPg

You delete the account but you already have the license, don't you?

Yes but it doesn't mention a license here - just user account. If you have just an account that doesn't have a license, you can keep it at no cost, deleting it will not save money (because it is just an account, not a license). If it was delete unused license, then it will be YES, this will save money.
