Zorluk: ZorAzure Pricing Calculator and TCO Calculator

An organization currently hosts its workloads in a private colocation facility and plans to transition to the cloud. The finance team needs to create a business case comparing the multi-year cost of ownership of the current physical infrastructure (including facility power, cooling, and hardware amortization) against running those same workloads on Azure. Additionally, the development team needs to estimate the monthly consumption cost of a planned cloud-native serverless application that will be built after the migration. Which Azure tools should the organization use to meet these requirements?

  1. The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Calculator for the business case comparison, and the Azure Pricing Calculator for the serverless application cost estimate.Cevap
  2. B
    The Azure Pricing Calculator for the business case comparison, and the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Calculator for the serverless application cost estimate.
  3. C
    The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Calculator for both requirements, because all cloud deployments represent an Operational Expenditure (OpEx) that must be compared to on-premises Capital Expenditures (CapEx).
  4. D
    Azure Cost Management and Billing for the business case comparison, and the Azure Pricing Calculator for the serverless application cost estimate.

Cevap

The organization should use the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Calculator to perform the business case comparison comparing on-premises/colocation costs to Azure, and the Azure Pricing Calculator to estimate the monthly consumption costs of the new serverless application.
The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Calculator is used to compare the costs of running on-premises or colocation infrastructure against running equivalent workloads in Azure over a multi-year timeline, factoring in facility, hardware, software, and labor costs. In contrast, the Azure Pricing Calculator is designed to calculate estimated costs for specific Azure services based on selected configurations and expected consumption patterns prior to deployment.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the first requirement: comparing the multi-year cost of existing colocation infrastructure (including cooling, power, and amortization) against Azure.
Identify that the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Calculator is the appropriate tool for this, as it allows inputting on-premises cost parameters and generates a comparison report.
The Pricing Calculator does not have features to input or model existing on-premises facility costs.
2
Analyze the second requirement: estimating the future monthly consumption cost of a new cloud-native serverless application.
Identify that the Azure Pricing Calculator is the correct tool, as it allows selecting specific Azure services (like Azure Functions or Logic Apps) and configuring their estimated usage levels.
The TCO Calculator compares existing infrastructure to equivalent Azure infrastructure, whereas the Pricing Calculator is designed for forward-looking resource-specific estimation.
