Exam AZ-300 topic 16 question 15 discussion

Actual exam question from Microsoft's AZ-300

Question #: 15
Topic #: 16

You monitor Azure virtual machines by using Azure Monitor.
You plan to restart the virtual machines when CPU usage exceeds 95 percent for more than 30 minutes.
You need to create an alert in Azure Monitor to restart the virtual machines. The solution must minimize administrative effort.
Which type of action should you use in the alert?

A. ITSM
B. Webhook
C. Automation Runbook
D. Logic App

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C 🗳️
Automation runbooks allows you to automatically perform standard remediations in response to VM alerts, like restarting or stopping the VM.
Previously, during VM alert rule creation you were able to specify an Automation webhook to a runbook in order to run the runbook whenever the alert triggered.
However, this required you to do the work of creating the runbook, creating the webhook for the runbook, and then copying and pasting the webhook during alert rule creation. With this new release, the process is much easier because you can directly choose a runbook from a list during alert rule creation, and you can choose an Automation account which will run the runbook or easily create an account.

Answer is correct. We need Automation Runbook which can be triggered from the Alerts directly and which gets Events or Logs.

while logic app can do the job, as per https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/automation/automation-solution-vm-management the recommended way is to use runbooks
