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: Create a resource group for each resource type. Assign tags to each resource group.
Does this meet the goal?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The proposed solution does not meet the goal because while resource groups can help organize resources, they do not inherently provide cost reporting by department. To achieve detailed cost reporting by department, tagging individual resources rather than groups would be necessary, allowing for more granular cost allocation and reporting.
