Exam AZ-303 topic 5 question 108 discussion

Actual exam question from Microsoft's AZ-303

Question #: 108
Topic #: 5

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.

C is correct. Check yourself in Azure Portal -> Monitor -> Create alert rule -> create action -> automation runbook -> select "restart VM" from dropdown. Every easy, no admin effort. If you choose Logic App instead of automation runbook, you actually need to develop/design your logic app to restart the VM, which is more effort.

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

C is correct: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/automation/automation-alert-metric If you want a simple Alert, use a runbook. If you have a complicated set of rules and logic you need to apply, then use Logic Apps.

Correct Use a runbook (to restart a VM, or scale a VM up or down) https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/modules/incident-response-with-alerting-on-azure/6-activity-log-alerts

"You need to create an alert in Azure Monitor to restart the virtual machines." - Runbooks can be triggered if an alert is generated. But the question relates to triggering the alert. I would go with logic app

Difficult choice I think, runbook and logic app can both do it and are both options in an action group. The whole point of a logic app is that it's simpler because you haven't got to write code. Personally I think I'll go runbook, more orthodox, but I may change my mind!
