You are designing an Azure solution for a company that has four departments. Each department will deploy several Azure app services and Azure SQL databases.

You need to recommend a solution to report the costs for each department to deploy the app services and the databases. The solution must provide a consolidated view for cost reporting.

Solution: Place all resources in the same resource group. Assign tags to each resource.

Does this meet the goal?

Examice · Accepted Answer

To report costs for each department deploying the app services and databases, placing all resources in the same resource group and assigning tags to each resource is a viable solution. Tags provide a way to organize and retrieve related resources across resource groups for billing and management purposes. Assigning tags to each resource ensures that cost allocation can be accurately reported based on the tags associated with each department's resources.

Answer here is a clear yes (A).

Ekramy_Elnaggar · Answer

Correct answer is A .

There are 2 Solutions here : both are correct

1- Place Each department resources in a separate RG . Assign tags to each resource.

2- Place all resources in the same RG. Assign tags to each resource.

The key point is "Assign tags to each resource" , as tags are not inherited which means if you assign a tag to a RG >> it will not propagated/inherited to the underneath resources , so you MUST assign tags to each individual resource.

Alposu · Answer

Why this is incorrect? It doesnt matter in which RG resources are if there is tags?

dciti · Answer

I suspect this is youd want to associate tags with specific resource. So they can be retrieved by group (Get-AzResourceGroup -Tag @{ Dept="Finance" }).ResourceGroupName

cjsammaejs · Answer

In general, I would never use ONE resource group for ALL resource types.  I believe in general one would normally organize your resource groups by departments and resource type.  The only time you should assign tags to the individual resources is if different department or cost centers got mixed and deployed in wrong groups or you did have a shared resource group for some reason.    I do like being exact and assigning tags to the individual resource anyway, and not just the resource group but that's me.  I like the other answer in general "Create a resources group for each resource type. Assign tags to each resource group"

eug45 · Answer

Answer is A

Yes, by assigning a tag to each resource, you can view the cost allocation of the resources tag wise - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/tag-resources

mlourh · Answer

I think the answer will be A but the best practice is to separate resources for each depart
ment to a dedicated RG with tag we can consolidate all costs in the same report

pandeya442 · Answer

Answer is Yes, we can segregate the bill by tags on Resources

Pierrick · Answer

Answer is Yes, you can add tag on each ressource and get a consolidated view

yilpiz · Answer

Agree with most. Answer is Yes. As long as each resource is tagged properly, it will work.

DeveshSolanki · Answer

Yes... Place all resources in the same resource group. Assign tags to each resource.

jonnybugaloo · Answer

No is correct. The questions states about "Several Service Apps". Who has already worked with this, knows that you can't have Service apps for Linux and Windows in the same RG, because of the different Service Apps plans. The best practice is to have them in different RGs.

Aaru · Answer

A) Yes... In single RG if Tags are assigned to each resource then you can differentiate.  
Tag applies to the RG level if single RG for all resources not useful.

tanito83 · Answer

The correct answer is A. Please, modify it.

sanketshah · Answer

A is correct answer.

glam · Answer

A. Yes

aktorodka · Answer

Have a same feeling to the best approach but still will work. A is correct.

mon_k · Answer

"Each department will deploy several Azure app services and Azure SQL databases". Since only app service and db resources are in question and both support tagging, why we can't do this? This might be not ideal in actual scenario, but still it satisfies the condition.

RStover · Answer

Key to look @here is "The solution must provide a consolidated view for cost reporting" 
so with that i say B is more appropriate. Split them into Diff resource groups and tag each resource.

Plumari · Answer

We should think about best pratices, that works too, but is not the best pratice.

SkyDream · Answer

Answer is B
As you cannot add tags to each resource. So add tag to RG by creating a different RG

corona2020 · Answer

I will select No, sincle all resources don't support resource tagging, but resource groups can

mrgandra · Answer

Correct answer is B. (Not all resource types support tags. To determine if you can apply a tag to a resource type).

Neetiniti · Answer

Correct Answer: B. Most Azure resources support tagging. However, some tags aren't available in Cost Management and billing. Additionally, resource group tags aren't supported. Support for tags applies to usage reported after the tag was applied to the resource. Tags aren't applied retroactively for cost rollups. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/costs/quick-acm-cost-analysis
