An organization notices that some of their cloud expenditures are too high. What should the organization do to control costs?

Question

Options

• AStreamline the hardware procurement process to reduce costs.
• BShare cost views with the departments to establish more accountability.
• CChange the cost model from operational expenditure to capital expenditure.
• DEnsure that all could resources are tagged with a single tag.

• A
  10% (2)
• B
  81% (17)
• C
  5% (1)
• D
  5% (1)

Explanation

Sharing cost views with individual departments creates financial accountability by making teams aware of the resources they consume and their associated costs. This is a core FinOps (Cloud Financial Management) practice: when teams can see their own spending, they are motivated to optimize it. Option A is irrelevant because cloud eliminates on-premises hardware procurement. Option C is counterproductive-moving from OpEx (operational expenditure) back to CapEx (capital expenditure) is the opposite of cloud's financial model and would not reduce costs. Option D is incorrect because tagging all resources with a single tag defeats the purpose of tagging, which is to allocate costs to specific teams, projects, or environments for granular accountability.
