Start Monitor and Maintain Azure Resources PracticeYou need to send an email whenever CPU utilization on VM-Prod01 exceeds 90 percent for 15 minutes. Which Azure Monitor components should you configure?
Explanation: A metric alert monitors a specific resource metric (like CPU utilization) and triggers when a condition (e.g., >90%) is met for a given duration (15 minutes). An action group defines the notification or remediation action (e.g., sending an email). Together, they fulfill the requirement to send an email when CPU utilization exceeds 90% for 15 minutes.
Your company must retain Azure Activity Log data beyond the default retention period and make it available for long-term analysis. What should you configure?
Explanation: Diagnostic settings for the Activity Log allow you to stream the log to a Log Analytics workspace, storage account, or Event Hubs, thereby extending retention beyond the default 90 days (for storage) or indefinitely (in Log Analytics). This is the only mechanism that enables long-term retention and analysis of Azure Activity Log data.
You need to collect Windows event logs and performance counters from multiple Azure virtual machines and query the data centrally by using Kusto Query Language. Which Azure resource should you deploy?
Explanation: A Log Analytics workspace is the correct resource because it serves as the central repository for collecting diagnostic data such as Windows event logs and performance counters from Azure VMs. Once collected, you can query this data using Kusto Query Language (KQL) to perform advanced analysis and monitoring. This aligns directly with the requirement to centrally query the data using KQL.
A business requires that a workload keep running if an entire Azure region becomes unavailable. Is Azure Backup alone sufficient, and what should you add if it is not?
Explanation: Azure Backup is designed to protect data by creating recovery points that can be used to restore data to a different region, but it does not provide continuous service or automatic failover during a regional outage. To keep the workload running without interruption, you need Azure Site Recovery (ASR) or a custom replication and failover solution that replicates the entire workload to a secondary region and enables automatic or manual failover. Therefore, Azure Backup alone is insufficient for high availability during a regional disaster.
Which of the following Azure VM backup restore options are correctly described?
Explanation: Azure VM Backup offers: File Recovery to restore individual files (A correct), Create new VM to deploy a new VM from a recovery point (so B's description is incorrect), Replace existing VM to overwrite the original VM (so C's description is incorrect), Cross-region restore for disaster recovery (D correct), and Restore disks to restore only managed disks (E correct). Therefore, the correct options are A, D, and E.
