CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 67

A company is planning to migrate applications to a public cloud, and the Chief Information Officer (CIO) would like to know the cost per business unit for the applications in the cloud. Before the migration, which of the following should the administrator implement FIRST to assist with reporting the cost for each business unit?

Answer options

• A. An SLA report
• B. Tagging
• C. Quotas
• D. Showback

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Implementing tagging is essential as it allows for the categorization of resources by business unit, facilitating accurate cost allocation. An SLA report provides information on service levels but does not assist in cost tracking. Quotas limit resource use but do not directly relate to cost reporting, while showback is a method of reporting costs rather than a preparatory step.
