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 new subscription for each department.
Does this meet the goal?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Creating a new subscription for each department allows for clear cost tracking and reporting specific to each department's use of Azure resources. This approach ensures that costs are consolidated and can be easily broken down by department, which directly meets the reporting goal. The alternative option, 'No', does not provide a viable solution for effective departmental cost management.
