An enterprise is optimizing its cloud infrastructure and wants to understand the operational boundaries of various Azure management tools. Which of the following scenarios describes a task that is performed by Azure Advisor rather than Azure Policy or Azure Monitor?
- AEnforcing that all newly created virtual machines must have backup enabled and blocking deployment if they do not meet this rule
- Generating personalized recommendations to right-size or shut down underutilized virtual machines to optimize monthly spendingAnswer
- CCollecting real-time CPU utilization metrics from virtual machines to trigger auto-scaling rules when demand increases
- DProviding real-time notifications and status dashboards regarding global Azure service outages and planned maintenance window events
Answer
Generating personalized recommendations to right-size or shut down underutilized virtual machines to optimize monthly spending
The correct answer describes a key feature of Azure Advisor, which evaluates resource telemetry and configuration to suggest optimizations such as resizing or shutting down underutilized virtual machines to save costs. Unlike other management tools, Advisor provides recommendations but does not directly enforce compliance or collect real-time metrics for direct scaling actions.
