A company's cloud environment hosts resources for three departments: Marketing, Engineering, and Sales. The finance team wants each department to see its own cloud spending in the monthly usage report. The cloud administrator has already implemented tagging on all resources. What should the administrator do next to enable per-department cost visibility?

Export the raw usage report and manually calculate costs per department

Create separate cloud accounts for each department

Set up a billing alert for each department's tag

Use the cloud provider's cost allocation report to group costs by the department tag

A company runs a batch data-processing job every night that takes about 4 hours. The job is critical and must complete reliably, but it can tolerate interruptions if the instance is reclaimed. The finance team wants to minimize compute costs for this workload. Which billing model should the cloud administrator recommend?

Reserved instances with a 1-year term

Pay-as-you-go on-demand instances

A company operates in multiple countries and uses cloud services. Why is it important to consider tax implications when planning cloud costs?

Taxes affect the color of the cloud console

Taxes can add a significant amount to the total cost of cloud services

Taxes determine the speed of the cloud network

Taxes are only relevant for on-premises infrastructure

A company's cloud usage report shows that a development environment has several virtual machines that are only used during business hours. The administrator wants to reduce costs without affecting the developers' ability to work. Which strategy is most effective?

Purchase reserved instances for the VMs

Implement a schedule to automatically shut down the VMs outside business hours

Increase the VM sizes to improve performance

A cloud administrator needs to analyze the cost of a specific project that uses resources from multiple cloud services. The resources are already tagged with the project name. Which report should the administrator use to get the cost breakdown?

The resource utilization report

The cost allocation report filtered by the project tag
