Send Alerts for Stopped Azure Virtual Machines

C

The correct answer is C. Azure Monitor.

Azure Monitor is a tool that provides a centralized view of performance and operational data across Azure resources, including virtual machines. It helps to collect and analyze data from various sources such as Azure resources, Azure services, and custom applications, and provides insights into resource utilization, health, and performance.

Azure Monitor can be used to create alerts for specific conditions or events, such as when an administrator stops a virtual machine. The alerts can be configured to send notifications to email, SMS, or other channels, allowing the appropriate parties to take action in a timely manner.

Azure Advisor is a tool that provides recommendations to optimize Azure resources, including virtual machines. It can suggest ways to improve performance, security, and reliability, but it does not have the capability to create alerts.

Azure Service Health is a tool that provides information about the health of Azure services and regions, including planned maintenance and outages. It does not have the capability to create alerts for specific events.

Azure Network Watcher is a tool that provides network monitoring and diagnostic capabilities, such as packet capture and flow analysis. It does not have the capability to create alerts for virtual machine events.

When starting to use Azure and planning to migrate network resources to it, the first step would be to create a subscription (Option A).

A subscription is a logical container for resources in Azure, it provides access to Azure products and services. With a subscription, you can manage access, security, billing, and resources across Azure. To use any Azure services or resources, you must have an active subscription.

After creating a subscription, the next step would be to create a resource group (Option B). A resource group is a logical container for resources that share the same lifecycle, security, and management policies. You can organize your resources based on their purpose, such as development, testing, or production.

Once you have created a resource group, you can start creating and deploying resources such as virtual networks (Option C). A virtual network is a logical representation of a network in Azure. It allows you to securely connect Azure resources to each other, to on-premises networks, and to the internet.

Lastly, a management group (Option D) is a container for managing access, policies, and compliance across multiple subscriptions. It helps you organize your resources and manage access at scale. However, it is not necessary to create a management group as the first step when starting to use Azure.

In summary, when starting to use Azure and planning to migrate network resources to it, the first step would be to create a subscription.
