After the city clerk's office deploys its Azure resources, a manager asks which tool shows actual spend analysis versus which tool was only for the pre-build estimate. Which statement is accurate?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
One tool is the menu price before you order; the other is the receipt after dinner. Use the pricing calculator to estimate up front, then Cost Management to see what you really spent. Mixing them up confuses planning with actuals.
Full Explanation
Pre-deployment estimation and post-deployment cost analysis are complementary but different. The pricing calculator forecasts hypothetical configurations. Azure Cost Management and Billing surfaces incurred costs, trends, and related controls after resources run. Fundamentals learners should not treat the calculator as the operational cost-analysis platform.
