Explanation

This question tests knowledge of Azure monitoring tools - specifically Azure Application Insights and Azure Monitor - and which tool is appropriate based on specific monitoring requirements for hosted applications.

Approach. App 1 requires monitoring of user behaviors, page views, and custom events (application-level telemetry), which maps to Azure Application Insights - a feature of Azure Monitor designed for application performance management (APM), tracking requests, dependencies, exceptions, and user analytics. App 2 requires monitoring of infrastructure-level metrics such as CPU usage, memory, and disk I/O for the underlying Azure resources (e.g., VMs, App Service plans), which maps to Azure Monitor (specifically Metrics and Alerts) since it collects and analyzes platform-level telemetry from Azure resources. Application Insights is ideal for code-level and user interaction monitoring, while Azure Monitor core metrics/logs are ideal for resource health and performance monitoring.

Concept tested. Understanding the distinction between Azure Application Insights (application-level telemetry: requests, dependencies, exceptions, page views, user sessions) and Azure Monitor (infrastructure/resource-level telemetry: CPU, memory, disk, network metrics and alerts), and knowing when to recommend each based on stated monitoring requirements.
