You want to reduce ongoing Azure costs. Which three factors affect the cost of a resource? Each correct answer is a complete solution. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

The volume of outbound data directly impacts costs because Azure charges for data egress (data leaving an Azure region or certain services). The service tier (e.g., Basic, Standard, Premium) determines the features, performance, and underlying hardware allocated to a resource, directly influencing its price. The Azure region can affect cost due to varying electricity prices, local taxes, and infrastructure costs, making some regions more expensive than others for the same service. The volume of inbound data is generally free in Azure and does not typically incur charges. The type of processed data does not directly affect the cost of the resource itself, though specific services might have pricing models based on data processing units or operations, which is distinct from the resource's base cost.
