The IT team needs to monitor the performance of their virtual machines and also track global Azure service outages that might impact their deployment region. Which two of the following statements correctly describe how they should use Azure services for these tasks?
- Use Azure Monitor to track performance metrics, such as CPU usage and memory utilization, of the virtual machines.Answer
- Use Azure Service Health to get notified about planned maintenance and outages affecting the Azure region where the virtual machines are located.Answer
- CUse Azure Monitor to check for global Azure cloud outage events that impact services in regions where you do not have resources.
- DUse Azure Service Health to run Kusto Query Language (KQL) queries against virtual machine guest operating system event logs.
Answer
Use Azure Monitor to track performance metrics of the virtual machines, and use Azure Service Health to get notified about planned maintenance and outages affecting the Azure region.
The statements indicating the use of Azure Monitor for resource performance metrics and Azure Service Health for regional outages/maintenance are correct because they map to the respective designs of these services. Azure Monitor tracks your resources' health, whereas Azure Service Health tracks the cloud platform's global status.
