A company's system administrator wants to automatically receive email notifications if the CPU utilization of any production Azure Virtual Machine exceeds . At the same time, the administrator needs to enforce a compliance rule that prevents developers from deploying new Virtual Machines unless a specific 'Department' tag is applied.
Which combination of Azure services should the administrator use to meet these requirements?
- AAzure Service Health to track the CPU utilization and send notifications, and Azure Policy to enforce the tagging requirement
- Azure Monitor to track the CPU utilization and send notifications, and Azure Policy to enforce the tagging requirementAnswer
- CAzure Monitor to track the CPU utilization and send notifications, and Azure Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to enforce the tagging requirement
- DAzure Service Health to track the CPU utilization and send notifications, and Azure Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to enforce the tagging requirement
Answer
Azure Monitor to track the CPU utilization and send notifications, and Azure Policy to enforce the tagging requirement
The correct answer specifies Azure Monitor to collect individual resource telemetry (such as VM CPU metrics) and send alerts, paired with Azure Policy to enforce compliance properties like mandatory tags at deployment time.
