AZ-104 Practice Question 92: Tags Not Inherited

Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate (AZ-104) · Test 10 · question 2 of 10

Identity & Governanceeasy

A resource group has the tag CostCenter=1234. A cost report filtered by that tag shows none of the resources inside the group.

What is the reason, and how can it be fixed?

Select one answer
Show answer and explanation

Answer:

  • A. The tag is not inherited by the resources, so a policy or tag inheritance must copy it

Azure resources do not inherit tags from the resource group or subscription. A Modify policy such as Inherit a tag from the resource group can copy the tag to resources, and Cost Management has a tag inheritance setting that applies the tags of the parents to usage records.

Option B is wrong because there is no propagation of this kind, so waiting changes nothing.

Option C is wrong because roles decide who sees the tags and do not decide whether a resource has one.

Option D is wrong because tag names are not case-sensitive, and case does not cause the issue.

Reference: Use tags to organize your Azure resources and management hierarchy
