AZ-104 Certification Practice Question #1

Question

Your company has serval departments. Each department has a number of virtual machines (VMs).
The company has an Azure subscription that contains a resource group named RG1.
All VMs are located in RG1.
You want to associate each VM with its respective department.
What should you do?

Accepted Answer

The goal is to associate existing virtual machines in a single resource group (RG1) with their respective departments. Azure Tags are custom key-value pairs (metadata) designed precisely for logically organizing, grouping, and categorizing resources (e.g., `Department=IT`, `Department=Sales`) without changing resource groups or affecting deployment structure. Management Groups (A) are used for governance across subscriptions. Creating a separate resource group per department (B) is unnecessarily heavy and administratively complex. Modifying VM settings (D) is non-standard and does not solve resource association for categorization/billing. Suggested Answer, Most Voted, and MS Learn documentation all unanimously point to C.
