Microsoft Azure Architect Technologies (2020, legacy) — Question 38

You have an Azure subscription that contains 10 virtual machines.
You need to ensure that you receive an email message when any virtual machines are powered off, restarted, or deallocated.
What is the minimum number of rules and action groups that you require?

Answer options

• A. three rules and three action groups
• B. one rule and one action group
• C. three rules and one action group
• D. one rule and three action groups

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as you need three separate conditions for the different states (powered off, restarted, deallocated), which requires three rules. However, you can consolidate these conditions under a single action group to simplify the notification process, making the total requirement three rules and one action group. The other options either underestimate or overestimate the necessary components.
