Q
You currently have two Azure Pay-As-You-Go subscriptions. You would like to combine these into a single subscription. How can you accomplish this?
A
Contact Microsoft Azure Support
The only way to combine Azure subscriptions is to open a support case with Microsoft. There is no such feature in the Azure Portal to combine Azure subscriptions. There is no such CLI command to merge subscriptions. There is no such PowerShell cmdlet either.

- Two virtual machines with the same size will incur the same monthly charges.

Q
Your company has several internal departments. Each department is responsible for purchasing its own IT equipment and services. The company plans to implement an Azure environment. You need to ensure that each department can use a different payment option for the Azure services it consumes. What should you create for each department?
- Reservations
- Azure Payment plan
- Management groups
- Subscription
A
-Subscription
A subscription is an agreement with Microsoft to use one or more Microsoft cloud platforms or services, for which charges accrue based on either a per-user license fee or on cloud-based resource consumption. Microsoft’s Software as a Service (SaaS)-based cloud offerings (Office 365, Intune/EMS, and Dynamics 365) charge per-user license fees. Microsoft’s Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud offerings (Azure) charge based on cloud resource consumption. Payment options can only be specified per Azure subscription. A reservation can be used to save costs on Azure resources. Azure resources, such as virtual machines, can be reserved in one-year or three-year terms, resulting in significant cost savings. However, Azure reservations are not used to manage billing for Azure services. If your organization has many subscriptions, you may need a way to efficiently manage access, policies, and compliance for those subscriptions. Azure management groups provide a level of scope above subscriptions. You organize subscriptions into containers called “management groups” and apply your governance conditions to the management groups. Billing is not managed via an Azure management group. There is no such thing as an Azure payment plan..
Management groups are for grouping your subscriptions, this allows you to mirror your company’s structure and also apply policies or access controls to any service in that structure. But it does not effect or control payment options, this is at the subscription level.

A
- A region in Azure is a set of geographies that preserves data residency and compliance boundaries.
- Azure Australia has two featured Azure Australia Central regions.
A region consists of data centers connected through a regional low-latency network and deployed within a latency-defined perimeter. Azure regions are organized into geographies typically containing two or more regions, that preserve data residency and compliance boundaries.
The two Azure Australia Central regions (Australia Central and Australia Central 2) are designed for the Austrailian and New Zealand governments, and critical infrastructure organizations and their supplies. Services in the Azure Australia Central regions can be purchased in the same way as any other Azure service.
Azure services are not charged the same across all geographies. Azure charges customers based on the geographical locations in which the apps and services are deployed. Prices vary by regions that define the geographical locations.
Azure products are available by regions; some products are not available in some regions.

Q
You work as part of the Product Analysis team at the Nutex Corporation. You have been asked to obtain a report of the profitability of products by the costs incurred to serve data to the products.
Which of the following statements about costs for ingress and egress data in Azure are TRUE? (Select all that apply.)
-Different ingress and egress data charges apply for VNet peering between the same Azure
region and different Azure regions.
-Both ingress and egress data charges apply for VNet peering.
-For site-to-site and point-to-site VPN connections, the first 5 GB of data transfer are
exempt from monthly charges for egress data.
-Ingress to Azure datacenters from on-premises environments is not charged.
-Both ingress and egress data charges apply for a metered Azure ExpressRoute plan.
A
- Different ingress and egress data charges apply for VNet peering between the same Azure region and different Azure regions.
- Both ingress and egress data charges apply for VNet peering.
- For site-to-site and point-to-site VPN connections, the first 5 GB of data transfer are exempt from monthly charges for egress data.
- Ingress to Azure datacenters from on-premises environments is not charged.
Data egress for site-to-site and point-to-site connections are charged at regular data transfer rates. The first 5 GB per month is free, and any data transfer beyond that is charged based on the following usage: 5GB-10TB @ $0.087/GB, 10-50TB @ $0.083/GB, and 50-150TB @ $0.07/GB (USD, as of this writing).
It is not true that both ingress and egress data charges apply for a metered Azure ExpressRoute plan. The two types of billing plans associated with ExpressRoute are:
Metered plans – Customers are charged for outbound data transfer based on Azure datacenter regions grouped as zones, but inbound data transfer is free.
Unlimited plans – Customers pay a flat fee based on the selected port speed, and both inbound and outbound data transfers are free.
