pg. 2 -Running a development environment overnight that is used only during business hours. - ANSWER - Running a development environment overnight that is used only during business hours.-A non-production environment that is unused outside business hours can be shut down to reduce costs.
Which of the following is a good practice to reduce costs?-Conducting regular reviews of cloud bills to identify abnormal increases in spend.-Letting all IT teams have access to provision virtual machines of any size.-Provisioning the same capacity in development environments as for production, even though resource requirements are substantially lower in development environments.-Provisioning virtual machines that include licensing costs rather than using a bring-your-own-license image. - ANSWER - Conducting regular reviews of cloud bills to identify abnormal increases in spend.-You should regularly review your bills to identify any abnormalities in your spend, as well as identifying areas where you can reduce costs.
Suppose you have recently moved your application to the cloud and your monthly bill seems higher than expected. The utilization level of your VM is high enough that you're hesitant to downsize. What might be a reasonable next step you can take to help you find inefficiencies?-Wait a month and recheck your bill.-Increase the amount of application testing you do before each release. 2 / 4
