Show Answer
Correct Answer: ACDE

The volume of outbound data affects costs because Azure charges for data leaving the network. The service tier influences costs as higher tiers with more features or performance capabilities incur higher charges. The Azure region impacts costs because different regions have varying pricing structures due to factors like local infrastructure and energy costs. Inbound data and the type of processed data do not significantly influence the cost structure directly.

ACD. Data is just data, which can all be measured in bits. Microsoft wouldn't and shouldn't care.

There are several factors that can affect the costs of a resource in Azure. Here are three factors that you should consider when trying to identify which factors are affecting the costs of a resource: The volume of outbound data: The volume of data that is transferred out of Azure can affect the costs of a resource. For example, if you have a resource that generates a large volume of outbound data, such as a web server that serves a lot of content to users, this can result in higher costs. The service tier: The service tier that you choose for a resource can also affect its costs. For example, if you choose a higher service tier, such as a more powerful virtual machine, this can result in higher costs. The Azure region: The Azure region in which a resource is deployed can also affect its costs. Azure regions are geographical areas that contain one or more data centers, and the costs of resources can vary depending on the region in which they are deployed.

ACD. The type of the processed data is none of Microsoft's business, as it's ours.

ACD. A and C, no doubt. D since as per others previous questions region has something to do with paying more (cheaper within lower cost-of-life regions)

Type od data might be a factor, though. Vectorial or geospatial data types might be costly to store and mange than plain ones.
