Example question from this objective
Each option is explained, so the reasoning behind the distractors is part of the answer.
A team needs to compare a resource's performance spike with its Azure cost over the same period. Which built-in tools should it use?
- Metrics Explorer for operational metrics and Cost Management cost analysis for resource-level spend.
- Network Watcher for application metrics and Azure DNS for spend.
- Azure Policy for performance metrics and Resource Graph for invoiced charges.
- Metrics Explorer alone because every Azure resource exposes an estimated-cost metric.
Metrics Explorer for operational metrics and Cost Management cost analysis for resource-level spend. — Correct. Metrics Explorer displays time-series performance data, while Cost Management analyzes charges by resource and time.
Network Watcher for application metrics and Azure DNS for spend. — These services do not provide the requested performance and cost views.
Azure Policy for performance metrics and Resource Graph for invoiced charges. — Policy evaluates configuration and Resource Graph inventories resources; neither is the requested metric-to-cost pairing.
Metrics Explorer alone because every Azure resource exposes an estimated-cost metric. — Metrics Explorer does not expose a universal resource-level estimated-cost metric.
