Question 560
A business unit owns both SQL warehouses and Spark Jobs with multiple teams. The team implements Report DBU consumption and priced cost separately with documented price assumptions. The goal was: Cost comparisons across months should not confuse DBU usage with billed currency. Which observed result best verifies success?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The dashboard labels units and computes totals consistently directly measures whether Report DBU consumption and priced cost separately with documented price assumptions achieved the requirement “Cost comparisons across months should not confuse DBU usage with billed currency.” It checks the operating result rather than just a configured resource name.
Incorrect Answers
This signal belongs to the adjacent case “A cost anomaly occurs during a period of high workload retries,” whose remedy is Correlate spend time series with Jobs run and retry records. The observed result for the present requirement is The dashboard labels units and computes totals consistently.
This signal belongs to the adjacent case “An account's daily cost should be visualized without disclosing sensitive team names to viewers,” whose remedy is Publish a governed aggregate metric view or anonymized report. The observed result for the present requirement is The dashboard labels units and computes totals consistently.
That observation is a valid indicator for “Management wants to compare serverless warehouse DBU consumption against job compute usage” when using Aggregate billing usage records grouped by workload or product SKU. The scenario instead tests “Cost comparisons across months should not confuse DBU usage with billed currency”; the relevant result is The dashboard labels units and computes totals consistently.
