Question

Hotspot Question You have a pay-as-you-go Azure subscription that contains the virtual machines shown in the following table. You create the budget shown in the following exhibit. The AG1 action group contains a user named [email protected] only. Use the drop-down menus to select the answer choice that completes each statement based on the information presented in the graphic. Answer:

Explanation

When a budget's maximum amount is reached in Azure Cost Management, the configured action group (AG1) triggers its defined actions. Since AG1 contains only a user ([email protected]) and no automation runbooks or Azure functions to shut down VMs, only an email notification is sent - VM1 continues to run and VM2 continues to run (no automatic VM shutdown occurs from a budget alert alone). For the second statement, budget alerts send one email notification per alert condition per billing period (month), so based on current usage crossing a threshold, only one email notification will be sent each month regardless of how long costs remain over the threshold.
