Question

an organization has deployed multiple services in its azure subscription and is looking for ways to reduce the cost of persistent services and workloads. which of the following would you recommend? a azure sphere b azure cost management c azure tco calculator d azure reservations

Explanation:

To reduce the cost of persistent services and workloads in Azure, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Azure Sphere is for securing IoT devices, not cost reduction.
• Option B: Azure Cost Management helps monitor and analyze costs but not directly reduce persistent service costs through pre - purchase or commitment.
• Option C: Azure TCO calculator is for comparing on - premise vs Azure costs, not for reducing existing service costs.
• Option D: Azure Reservations allow pre - purchasing Azure resources (like VMs, storage) for 1 - or 3 - year terms, which gives significant discounts on persistent services and workloads.

Answer:

D. Azure Reservations
