Is the underlined portion of the following statement true, or does it need to be replaced with one of the other fragments that appear below?

The Azure Pricing Calculator enables you to estimate the cost of a specific Azure solution based on the resources and services in that solution.

• can calculate the estimated cost of moving a data center to Azure.

• factors facilities costs such as power and cooling into an estimate.

• is a downloadable tool that can help you calculate the costs of deploying an Azure solution.

• No change is needed.

Which of the following use scenarios are appropriate for Azure Advisor? (Choose all that apply.)

Your organization completed a sizable Azure deployment over the past year encompassing compute, storage, big data, and serverless computing, with a relatively small DevOps component.

As the IT Director, you have been tasked by the CIO with reducing Azure expenditures. You cannot reduce the resources you have deployed in Azure. Which option could provide the most significant cost savings?

• Reviewing and resizing VMs

• Moving resources to less expensive regions

Azure Hybrid Benefit is a cost-saving option offered by Microsoft for all Azure hybrid deployments.

• enables you to leverage your existing Windows Server and SQL Server licenses that are

  covered by Software Assurance for deployments in Azure.

• reduces pricing for network ingress traffic from your on-premises data center to Azure in

  a hybrid deployment.

• enables you to leverage all your Microsoft perpetual licenses in Azure if those licenses

  are decommissioned in your on-premises data center.
