AZ400-Q: prevent temporary environment cost leakage
On-demand test environments are created from templates but are rarely deleted. Cloud cost is increasing. What is the best improvement?
- A) Stop using infrastructure as code.
- B) Add ownership, expiration/automatic cleanup, cost tags/budgets, and lifecycle checks to the environment provisioning process. ✓
- C) Give every developer subscription Owner.
- D) Hide the cost reports.
Answer: B. Self-service environments need explicit lifecycle governance so their convenience does not become unmanaged spend.
Why not the others: Removing IaC/broadening privileges/hiding data does not solve orphaned resources.
