Difficulty: MediumAzure Advisor

A logistics enterprise deploys multiple virtual machines into an Azure resource group that has specific cost-center tags applied. The IT department expects these virtual machines to inherit the tags from the resource group. Additionally, the department needs to review recommendations on how to optimize virtual machine sizing to reduce costs. Which statement correctly describes the tag inheritance behavior and identifies the tool that provides the sizing recommendations?

  1. The virtual machines do not inherit the tags from the resource group, and the company should use Azure Advisor to obtain the sizing recommendations.Answer
  2. B
    The virtual machines automatically inherit the tags from the resource group, and the company should use Azure Advisor to obtain the sizing recommendations.
  3. C
    The virtual machines do not inherit the tags from the resource group, and the company should use Azure Policy to automatically resize the virtual machines.
  4. D
    The virtual machines automatically inherit the tags from the resource group, and the company should use Azure Cost Management to automatically resize the virtual machines.

Answer

The virtual machines do not inherit the tags from the resource group, and the company should use Azure Advisor to obtain the sizing recommendations.
The correct option stating that resources do not inherit tags and that Azure Advisor should be used is correct because tag inheritance is not automatic in Azure, and Azure Advisor is the dedicated tool for providing best practice recommendations, including cost-saving right-sizing suggestions for virtual machines.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Determine the resource tag inheritance behavior in Azure.
Confirm that tags applied to a resource group are not inherited by the resources inside that resource group.
By default, Azure resources do not inherit tags from their parent resource group; tags must be applied directly or enforced via Azure Policy.
2
Identify the Azure management tool that provides optimization and sizing recommendations.
Azure Advisor provides cost recommendations, specifically pointing out underutilized virtual machines that can be resized or shut down.
Azure Advisor analyzes resource configuration and usage telemetry to recommend solutions that improve efficiency, security, reliability, performance, and cost-effectiveness.
