AI-102 Plan and manage an Azure AI solution Practice Question
Which THREE considerations are essential when designing a cost management strategy for an enterprise Azure AI solution that uses multiple AI services, including Azure OpenAI Service, Azure AI Language, and Azure AI Vision?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse the Free tier's suitability for production or assume Azure Site Recovery can replicate stateless API endpoints, when in fact it is designed for infrastructure-level failover, not cost management.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Choose provisioned throughput units (PTUs) for Azure OpenAI Service for predictable workloads.
Provisioned throughput units (PTUs) for Azure OpenAI Service provide reserved capacity, ensuring predictable performance and cost for stable workloads. PTUs are ideal for enterprise scenarios where latency and throughput must be consistent, as they allocate dedicated model processing capacity and avoid pay-per-token variability.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Use the Free tier for all services to minimize upfront costs.
Why it's wrong here
Free tier has strict limits and is not scalable for enterprise.
- ✓
Choose provisioned throughput units (PTUs) for Azure OpenAI Service for predictable workloads.
Why this is correct
PTUs provide cost savings over pay-as-you-go for steady usage.
- ✓
Use a single multi-service Cognitive Services account to consolidate usage.
Why this is correct
Multi-service account simplifies management and may offer tiered pricing.
- ✗
Deploy Azure Site Recovery to replicate AI services across regions.
Why it's wrong here
Site Recovery is for disaster recovery, not cost optimization.
- ✓
Enable autoscaling on Azure AI Language to adjust capacity based on demand.
Why this is correct
Autoscaling prevents paying for unused capacity.
