An organization is planning its cloud strategy and needs to utilize various cost estimation and management tools. Match each business requirement to the correct Microsoft Azure tool. To answer, drag the appropriate tool from the right column to the matching requirement on the left.
- Estimate the monthly subscription fees for a new deployment of Azure App Service, Azure Cosmos DB, and Azure Virtual Network before provisioning them.Azure Pricing Calculator
- Estimate the potential savings over a three-year period by comparing the costs of maintaining physical datacenters with migrating the workloads to Azure.Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Calculator
- Identify active but underutilized virtual machines in an existing Azure subscription to obtain recommendations for sizing down or stopping them.Azure Advisor
- Analyze historical cloud spend, track resource tags to allocate costs to departments, and configure budget threshold alerts.Azure Cost Management
Answer
The correct pairings align the Azure Pricing Calculator with pre-deployment service estimation, the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Calculator with on-premises versus cloud cost comparison, Azure Advisor with optimization recommendations on active resources, and Azure Cost Management with tracking historical spend and setting budgets.
The configuration correctly maps pre-deployment estimation of new services to the Pricing Calculator, multi-year on-premises versus cloud migration modeling to the TCO Calculator, active resource utilization recommendations to Azure Advisor, and post-deployment cost tracking and budget alerts to Azure Cost Management.
