A global company wants to organize its Azure resources by department and project. They need to enforce cost allocation and apply governance policies consistently across all subscriptions. Which two Azure features should they use together? (Select two.)
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.
A
Distractor review
Resource groups
Resource groups group resources for an application, but they do not span subscriptions or directly enforce policies across them.
B
Best answer
Management groups
Management groups enable hierarchical organization of subscriptions for applying governance and policies.
C
Best answer
Tags
Tags are key-value pairs that can categorize resources for cost allocation and reporting across departments.
D
Distractor review
Azure Policies
Azure Policy is a tool to enforce rules, but it is not an organizational feature; it can be applied at management group level.
Common exam trap
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
