Difficulty: EasyAzure Service Health

An organization wants to configure alerts to notify their IT team about issues affecting the Azure infrastructure that hosts their applications. Which two event types can be tracked by using Azure Service Health? (Select two.)

  1. Planned maintenance events that may affect the availability of your resourcesAnswer
  2. Service incidents such as outages in Azure regions that affect your active subscriptionsAnswer
  3. C
    Real-time performance metrics, such as CPU and memory utilization, for specific virtual machines
  4. D
    Role-based access control assignments and administrative activity logs across subscriptions

Answer

The correct options are the statements describing 'Planned maintenance events that may affect the availability of your resources' and 'Service incidents such as outages in Azure regions that affect your active subscriptions'.
Azure Service Health notifies users about events affecting Azure infrastructure, specifically planned maintenance (giving advance notice of updates) and service incidents (such as unplanned outages that affect active subscriptions and regions).

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the primary purpose of Azure Service Health.
Azure Service Health focuses on notifications regarding Azure's infrastructure status, including service incidents, planned maintenance, and health advisories that affect your resources.
This establishes the scope of what the service covers.
2
Differentiate between infrastructure-level health and individual resource metrics or configurations.
Individual resource performance (like CPU and memory metrics) is tracked by Azure Monitor, and access management is controlled via Azure RBAC. Outages and planned maintenance are infrastructure events tracked by Azure Service Health.
To select the two correct infrastructure health options and rule out resource-specific management options.

Key Concept

Understanding the types of notifications and events tracked by Azure Service Health versus other Azure management services.
