Microsoft Azure Architect Technologies (2020, legacy) — Question 66

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?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Automation Runbook, as it allows for automated tasks to be executed in response to alerts, minimizing manual intervention. Options A (ITSM) and D (Logic App) are not specifically designed for automating VM restarts in this scenario, while B (Webhook) requires additional setup to trigger the restart process, making them less efficient choices.
