Cost-Optimization — Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect (AZ-305) Practice Questions
Cost optimization as an AZ-305 concept encompasses the full set of architectural patterns and Azure-native tools used to minimize cloud spend while meeting business and technical requirements. Architects must apply strategies such as choosing consumption-based versus provisioned pricing models, implementing budget alerts and cost anomaly detection, and designing stateless or serverless workloads where appropriate. The exam tests whether candidates can embed cost awareness into initial design decisions rather than treating it as a post-deployment concern.
