Zorluk: OrtaAzure Pricing Calculator and TCO Calculator

A logistics company is designing a new cloud-based route optimization application. The solution will require two virtual machines, an Azure Cosmos DB database, and an Azure Load Balancer. The company does not have any existing physical server infrastructure and needs to estimate the monthly operational cost of running these specific resources before committing to the development phase.

Which tool should the company use to estimate these costs?

  1. Azure Pricing CalculatorCevap
  2. B
    Azure Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Calculator
  3. C
    Azure Cost Management and Billing
  4. D
    Azure Advisor

Cevap

Azure Pricing Calculator
The correct tool is the Azure Pricing Calculator because it allows users to select, configure, and estimate the consumption costs of new Azure resources (such as virtual machines, databases, and load balancers) prior to deployment.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the business requirements.
The company wants to estimate the monthly operational costs of running a set of specific new Azure resources (Virtual Machines, Cosmos DB, and Load Balancer) before deploying them. They do not have an existing on-premises environment to compare.
Understanding whether the scenario is about estimating new deployments or comparing existing on-premises infrastructure is key to selecting the correct cost estimation tool.
2
Evaluate the available Azure tools against the requirements.
The Azure Pricing Calculator is the correct tool because it allows users to estimate costs for new Azure services by configuring their properties. The TCO Calculator is incorrect because it is designed for comparing on-premises to cloud migration costs. Azure Cost Management and Billing and Azure Advisor require existing deployments to function.
Matching the feature set of each tool to the pre-deployment state of the company's application determines the appropriate solution.

Anahtar Kavram

Azure Pricing Calculator is used to estimate the cost of new Azure services before deployment, whereas the TCO Calculator is used to compare on-premises costs with Azure costs.
