Difficulty: EasyAzure Subscription Management and Cost Control

You plan to configure a budget named `Budget1` for an Azure subscription. You want to ensure that when actual spending reaches 90%90\% of the budget, email notifications are sent to the billing team. Which of the following settings must you configure when defining the budget alert? (Select TWO.)

  1. An alert threshold percentage or absolute amountAnswer
  2. Email recipients or an Azure Monitor action groupAnswer
  3. C
    A ReadOnly resource lock on the subscription scope
  4. D
    A custom role assignment containing an explicit deny rule

Answer

An alert threshold percentage or absolute amount, and Email recipients or an Azure Monitor action group
To successfully set up budget alerts that notify administrators, you must define the condition that triggers the alert (an alert threshold percentage or absolute amount) and the destination for the alert (email recipients or an Azure Monitor action group). Failing to specify either results in an inactive or silent alert.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the requirement to generate a notification when a specific budget percentage is reached.
The budget configuration requires a condition to trigger the alert, which is defined by setting an alert threshold percentage or absolute amount.
Without a threshold, Azure Cost Management does not know when to evaluate the budget status.
2
Identify the requirement to send an email notification when the threshold is met.
The budget configuration requires specifying either email recipients directly or linking an Azure Monitor action group.
Without recipient email addresses or action groups, the alert will fire silently without notifying the administration team.

Key Concept

Azure Budgets require both an alert threshold and designated notification recipients (emails or action groups) to successfully alert administrators of spending limits.
