Difficulty: EasyAzure Cost Management, Billing, and Resource Tags

A cloud engineer assigns a tag named Department with a value of Sales to an Azure resource group. The engineer then deploys an Azure Storage account inside this resource group without defining any tags. What is the tag status of the newly deployed storage account?

  1. A
    The storage account automatically inherits the Department tag with the value Sales.
  2. The storage account has no tags applied.Answer
  3. C
    The storage account inherits the Department tag only if the storage account is deployed in the same region as the resource group.
  4. D
    The storage account inherits the Department tag and reclassifies its billing status as a Capital Expenditure (CapEx).

Answer

The storage account has no tags applied.
The correct answer is correct because Azure resources do not inherit tags from the resource group in which they reside. When a storage account is deployed without tags into a tagged resource group, the storage account will have no tags.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the relationship between the resource group and the resources inside it regarding tag inheritance.
Azure resource groups do not pass down or inherit their tags to resources contained within them.
This is a fundamental behavior of Azure Resource Manager (ARM) tagging policies designed to prevent unintentional tag overrides.
2
Determine the tag configuration of the newly deployed storage account.
Since no tags were specified during the storage account's deployment and there is no automatic inheritance from the resource group, the storage account will be created with zero tags.
Applying tags is an explicit operation that must be configured per resource or enforced via Azure Policy.

Key Concept

Azure resource tags are not inherited from resource groups to resources inside them.
