Your company has an Azure subscription that contains the following unused resources:
-> 20 user accounts in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)
-> Five groups in Azure AD
-> 10 public IP addresses
-> 10 network interfaces
You need to reduce the Azure costs for the company.
Solution: You remove the unused groups.
Does this meet the goal?

A. B.B
You are not charged for Azure Active Directory Groups. Therefore, deleting unused groups will not reduce your Azure costs.

Azure AD is a service that provides identity and access management capabilities for Azure resources. In this scenario, the company has 20 user accounts in Azure AD, but it's unclear if all of them are actively being used. However, since the question mentions "unused resources," it's possible that some of these user accounts are also not being used.
The five groups in Azure AD could also potentially be unused. If these groups were created for a specific purpose or project that is no longer active, then removing them would free up resources and reduce costs.
On the other hand, public IP addresses and network interfaces are resources that are typically associated with virtual machines or other network resources. It's possible that these resources are also unused, but it's less likely since they are typically required for running virtual machines or connecting to networks.
Overall, while there may be other unused resources that could also be removed to reduce costs, removing unused groups is a reasonable solution that could potentially have a significant impact on reducing Azure costs for the company. Therefore, the answer is A. Yes.
The Azure CLI is a command-line tool used to manage and automate Azure resources. To run the Azure CLI on a computer, you need to use a command-line interface (CLI) tool, which is a program that allows you to enter commands in a text-based format.
The support engineer should use two tools to run the Azure CLI: Command Prompt and Windows PowerShell.
Command Prompt is a command-line interface tool that comes with every Windows installation. It allows users to interact with the operating system and execute commands. To run the Azure CLI in Command Prompt, the support engineer should open a Command Prompt window and enter the appropriate Azure CLI commands.
Windows PowerShell is a more powerful command-line interface tool than Command Prompt. It provides a more flexible and extensible command-line environment for managing Windows and Azure resources. To run the Azure CLI in Windows PowerShell, the support engineer should open a PowerShell window and enter the appropriate Azure CLI commands.
Azure Resource Explorer is not a tool to run the Azure CLI, but it is a web-based tool that allows you to explore and manage Azure resources. Windows Defender Firewall and Network and Sharing Center are not relevant to running the Azure CLI.
