You need to send a report to the finance department. The report must detail the costs for each department.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.
Correct Answer:
Explanation
Box 1: Assign a tag to each resource.
You apply tags to your Azure resources giving metadata to logically organize them into a taxonomy. After you apply tags, you can retrieve all the resources in your subscription with that tag name and value. Each resource or resource group can have a maximum of 15 tag name/value pairs. Tags applied to the resource group are not inherited by the resources in that resource group.
Box 2: From the Cost analysis blade, filter the view by tag
After you get your services running, regularly check how much they're costing you. You can see the current spend and burn rate in Azure portal.
* Visit the Subscriptions blade in Azure portal and select a subscription.
* You should see the cost breakdown and burn rate in the popup blade.
* Click Cost analysis in the list to the left to see the cost breakdown by resource. Wait 24 hours after you add a service for the data to populate.
* You can filter by different properties like tags, resource group, and timespan. Click Apply to confirm the filters and Download if you want to export the view to a Comma-Separated Values (.csv) file.
Box 3: Download the usage report

Explanation
You can connect one VNet to another VNet using either a Virtual network peering, or an Azure VPN Gateway.
To create a virtual network gateway
Step1 : In the portal, on the left side, click +Create a resource and type 'virtual network gateway' in search.
Locate Virtual network gateway in the search return and click the entry. On the Virtual network gateway page, click Create at the bottom of the page to open the Create virtual network gateway page.
Step 2: On the Create virtual network gateway page, fill in the values for your virtual network gateway.
Name: Name your gateway. This is not the same as naming a gateway subnet. It's the name of the gateway object you are creating.
Gateway type: Select VPN. VPN gateways use the virtual network gateway type VPN.
Virtual network: Choose the virtual network to which you want to add this gateway. Click Virtual network to open the 'Choose a virtual network' page. Select the VNet. If you don't see your VNet, make sure the Location field is pointing to the region in which your virtual network is located.
Gateway subnet address range: You will only see this setting if you did not previously create a gateway subnet for your virtual network. If you previously created a valid gateway subnet, this setting will not appear.
Step 4: Select Create New to create a Gateway subnet.
Step 5: Click Create to begin creating the VPN gateway. The settings are validated and you'll see the
"Deploying Virtual network gateway" tile on the dashboard. Creating a gateway can take up to 45 minutes.
You may need to refresh your portal page to see the completed status.
