Exam AZ-900 topic 1 question 216 discussion

Azure Monitor maximizes the availability and performance of your applications by delivering a comprehensive solution for collecting, analyzing, and acting on telemetry from your cloud and on-premises environments. It helps you understand how your applications are performing and proactively identifies issues affecting them and the resources they depend on.

This is in Azure Virtuel Machine : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/maintenance-notifications-portal

Copilot about the C choice: I understand why you might think that, but for service failure notifications that may affect the availability of your virtual machine, Azure Service Health is the appropriate service.

Answer should be B

The correct answer is B. C makes no sense whatsoever

Chat GPT : The correct Azure service to use in order to view service failure notifications that can affect the availability of VM1 is Azure Monitor (Option B

The document link of the answer clearly states it is under Virtual Machines you would find this sort of information, it didn't take much effort for me to check this out.

B is correct

The Azure service you would use from the portal to view service failure notifications that can affect the availability of any VM is: Service Health. Service Health is a part of Azure Monitor. So, the correct answer is option B. In Azure Portal, navigate to the very bottom of the left pane > Help & Support > Service Health > You have the following 4 options: Service Issue Planned Maintenance Health Advisories (Health History) Security Advisories.

Not sure, taking my test tomorrow. This is what ChatGPT says: "Azure Virtual Machines (VMs) are primarily used for creating and hosting virtualized instances of Windows or Linux operating systems. They provide the infrastructure for running applications, services, and workloads in the Azure cloud. When you use Azure VMs, you are essentially provisioning and managing virtualized compute resources. On the other hand, Azure Monitor is the Azure service focused on monitoring and managing the performance and health of your Azure resources, including Azure VMs. Azure Monitor provides various tools and features for collecting and analyzing telemetry data, setting up alerts, and gaining insights into the performance of your applications and infrastructure."

You can use the Azure portal and look for VMs scheduled for maintenance. Sign in to the Azure portal. Search for or select Virtual Machines. In the Virtual Machines pane, select the More menu and then select Maintenance -> Virtual machine maintenance to open the list with maintenance columns.

Answer is C. Azure virtual machines Sign in to the Azure portal ->Search for or select Virtual Machines. In the Virtual Machines pane, select the More menu and then select Maintenance -> Virtual machine maintenance to open the list with maintenance columns. Maintenance status: Shows the maintenance status for the VM. The following are the potential values: Start now Scheduled Already updated Retry later Retry now

i should go to B answer.

Azure Monitor To view service failure notifications for your VMs using Azure Monitor, you can set up alerts for specific metrics such as CPU usage, memory usage, and disk usage, and configure the alert to trigger when a threshold is crossed. You can also use Azure Monitor to monitor the health of the underlying infrastructure such as storage accounts, network resources, and virtual machines, and receive notifications when a failure occurs. Additionally, you can view logs and metrics for your VMs and other resources to troubleshoot issues and identify the root cause of service failures.

To view service failure notifications that can affect the availability of virtual machines in Azure, you should use Azure Monitor rather than Azure Virtual Machines. Azure Monitor is a platform service that provides a unified solution for collecting, analyzing, and acting on telemetry data from various Azure resources, including virtual machines. It allows you to monitor the health and performance of your virtual machines, and to receive alerts and notifications when issues arise that could affect the availability of your VMs. Azure Virtual Machines, on the other hand, is a compute service that allows you to create and manage virtual machines in Azure, but it does not provide native monitoring or alerting capabilities. While you can view basic performance metrics and logs for your VMs in the Azure portal, you will not receive notifications or alerts for service failures or other issues that could impact the availability of your VMs without configuring Azure Monitor.

Azure Virtual Machines is a service to create and manage virtual machines, but it does not provide specific information about service failure notifications that can affect the availability of VM1. On the other hand, Azure Monitor is a monitoring service that provides alerts and notifications for Azure resources, including virtual machines. Therefore, the correct answer to the question would be B. Azure Monitor.
