AB-731 Certification Practice Question #69

Question

Your company plans to implement a proof of concept (PoC) agent that uses Azure OpenAI.
The solution must start small and provide flexibility to scale usage as demand grows.
Which pricing model should you use?

Accepted Answer

A proof-of-concept that must "start small and provide flexibility to scale usage as demand grows" maps directly to the Standard (On-Demand) deployment, where you pay per token with no capacity commitment. MS Learn describes Provisioned/PTU as the choice for predictable, production-scale throughput (requiring reserved PTU quota), and Batch as a 50%-cheaper async path for large bulk jobs — neither fits experimental, demand-driven scaling. Microsoft 365 Copilot is not an Azure OpenAI pricing model at all. Suggested Answer, the only voted comment, and MS Learn all agree on D.
