You are designing an Azure solution for a company that has four departments. Each department will deploy several Azure app services and Azure SQL databases.
You need to recommend a solution to report the costs for each department to deploy the app services and the databases. The solution must provide a consolidated view for cost reporting that displays cost broken down by department.
Solution: Place all resources in the same resource group. Assign tags to each resource.
Does the solution meet the goal?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The proposed solution meets the goal because using tags on resources allows for detailed cost tracking and reporting by department within a single resource group. This approach enables easy aggregation of costs associated with each department, facilitating a consolidated view of expenditures. The alternative option, 'No,' is incorrect since the tagging method effectively fulfills the requirement for departmental cost reporting.
