Q
A company has a customer-service agent built in Microsoft Copilot Studio that handles steady daily traffic and periodic month-end spikes. The agent uses RAG with Azure AI Search and Azure OpenAI models, and a model router directs simple requests to lower-cost models.
The company's Finance team requires predictable monthly costs for baseline usage, while the Operations team must handle spikes without failed requests.
You need to recommend a billing and deployment approach that meets both requirements.
What should you recommend?

Rationale:
Provisioned throughput provides predictable costs for steady workloads, while a consumption-based endpoint absorbs burst traffic without request failures. Consumption-only billing lacks predictability, blocking excess traffic impacts reliability, and prompt reduction does not address capacity or cost control.
