Answer

Azure Service Health
Azure Service Health provides a personalized dashboard that displays active service issues, planned maintenance, and health advisories that directly affect the resources in your subscription.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the goal: The administrator needs to view notifications about planned maintenance and outages affecting their specific Azure resources.
This requires a service that alerts on Azure platform-level issues rather than resource-level telemetry.
Azure infrastructure maintenance and regional outages are managed by Microsoft, not by the customer's guest OS configuration.
2
Select the service designed for personalized infrastructure health tracking.
Azure Service Health is identified as the correct tool.
Azure Service Health specifically filters global service issues to show only those that impact the subscriptions and resources you own.
