A video production company is planning a new rendering service and compares identical virtual machine configurations in two Azure regions using Microsoft's estimation tooling.

  2. B. One region is newer than the other, and Azure temporarily discounts resources provisioned in regions that opened recently
  3. C. The cost of power, labor, taxes, and fees differs by location, so Azure prices the same resource differently per region
  4. D. The estimate adds an availability margin that grows with the distance between the chosen region and the location of the company's head office
