Question

Difficulty: HardAzure Service Health

An enterprise administrator manages resources across multiple Azure subscriptions. The administrator needs to implement a monitoring and alerting strategy to address the following three requirements:

1. Receive notifications when a widespread outage affects the Azure App Service in a region where their subscriptions host active web apps.
2. Troubleshoot a single Virtual Machine that has become unavailable due to an underlying Azure platform host hardware failure.
3. View the general status of all Azure services globally without logging into an Azure account.

Which combination of Azure features should the administrator use to meet these requirements?

  1. 1. Azure Service Health; 2. Azure Resource Health; 3. Azure StatusAnswer
  2. B
    1. Azure Monitor; 2. Azure Resource Health; 3. Azure Status
  3. C
    1. Azure Service Health; 2. Azure Monitor; 3. Azure Status
  4. D
    1. Azure Service Health; 2. Azure Resource Health; 3. Azure Advisor

Answer

1. Azure Service Health; 2. Azure Resource Health; 3. Azure Status
The correct option correctly maps each requirement to its corresponding tool: Azure Service Health is subscription-tailored for regional service outages; Azure Resource Health handles individual platform-level resource availability; and Azure Status provides the public, global overview of all Azure services without requiring login.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze requirement 1 for regional outages impacting specific subscriptions.
Identify Azure Service Health as the service that provides personalized dashboards and alerts for regional service issues affecting the active subscription resources.
Unlike global status, Azure Service Health is tailored to specific subscriptions.
2
Analyze requirement 2 for troubleshooting a single resource's platform-level availability.
Identify Azure Resource Health as the tool that provides detailed diagnostics on whether a specific resource (such as a VM) is available or experiencing platform host issues.
Resource Health is designed for resource-level platform diagnostics.
3
Analyze requirement 3 for a public, non-authenticated overview of service health.
Identify Azure Status as the public web page that tracks the health of all Azure services in all regions.
Azure Status does not require authentication.

Key Concept

Azure Service Health, Resource Health, and Azure Status serve different scopes of platform monitoring, distinct from the custom resource telemetry tracked by Azure Monitor.
