HOTSPOT -
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.
Hot Area:
Box 1: VM1 and VM2 continue to run
The budget alerts are for Resource Group RG1, which include VM1, but not VM2. However, when the budget thresholds you've created are exceeded, only notifications are triggered. None of your resources are affected and your consumption isn't stopped.
Box 2: one email notification will be sent each month.
Budget alerts for Resource Group RG1, which include VM1, but not VM2.VM1 consumes 20 Euro/day. The 50%, 500 Euro limit, will be reached in 25 days, and an email will be sent.
The 70% and 100% alert conditions will not be reached within a month, and they don't trigger email actions anyway.
Credit alerts: Credit alerts are generated automatically at 90% and at 100% of your Azure credit balance. Whenever an alert is generated, it's reflected in cost alerts and in the email sent to the account owners. 90% and 100% will not be reached though.

Correct Answer: Box 1: VM1 and VM2 continue to run The Budget’s scope is RG1, so only VM1 will be handled. When the budget thresholds you've created are exceeded, only notifications are triggered. To stop resources, you need to setup additional things, none of which are mentioned in the question. Box 2: one email notification will be sent each month. Budget alerts have scope in Resource Group RG1, which includes VM1, but not VM2. VM1 consumes 20 Euro/day, so 20 euros * 30 days = 600 euros. The 50%, 500 Euro limit, will be reached in 25 days (25*20 = 500), so an email will be sent. The 70% and 100% alert conditions will not be reached within a month, and they don't trigger email actions anyway, because AG1 action group contains a user. Credit alerts: Credit alerts are generated automatically at 90% and at 100% of your Azure credit balance. Whenever an alert is generated, it's reflected in cost alerts and in the email sent to the account owners. 90% and 100% will not be reached though.
Sir, you are a rock star. I learn from you.
I hope addressing you as sir, is correct. If not, fill it in.
Yo Da'man!
Picture perfect!
you are my sun and star (From GOT)
Answer is Wrong. Correct is - VM1 and VM2 continues to run. First the Alerts is managed only for VM1 in the scope of RG1. Second, when alert hits 100%, the action group is a Azure app, which I assume a Azure logic App. It is not clear what this app does. accordingly, we can assume no action to stop the VM as a spending limit. It is just an alert. - The second answer is wrong. the alert will send an two email notification , one based on Action group AG1 and another based on the alert recipients (the admin)
Do you have any links explaining your point on the email notifications? I think it would only be one email notification.
I selected one email based on the math, AG1 is reached but AG2 is not reached because 30 days of 20 dollars a day is only $600. Also even if AG2 was triggered it still wouldnt send out a 2nd email.
2nd mail is from "Alert recipient" to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="40353325327100232f2e342f332f6e232f2d">[email protected]</a>
the alert is for resoruce group AG1 only. So no need of looking to AG2
Agree: - the alert will send an two email notification: one based on Action group AG1 (admin) 50% and another based on the alert recipients (user) 100% of the budget.
what happened if they under budget ? => so answer 1 email is correct (policy apply only for RG1)
when they 100% of budget will send SMS
That's what I thought! Thanks for the clear-cut explanation.
Did we miss 'pay-as-you-go' Azure subscription?
These questions are phrased so bad...
is it me or the question is not phrased properly?! Did you notice the second question where it says "based on the current usage cost" not daily cost? If that is correct, then no email notification will be sent, did I understand it correctly?

Got this question on 09/09/23
which answer and did you passed?
Box 2: 2 emails each month i.e. AG1 and Alert recipient. Whenever an alert is generated, it's shown in cost alerts. An alert email is also sent to the people in the alert recipients list of the budget. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/costs/cost-mgt-alerts-monitor-usage-spending
But is one email going to two recipients one email or two? i.e. is the question a poorly worded question of how many email notification triggers will occur each month, or how many recipients will receive emails each month. If I send an email to 20 recipients, I don't say I sent 20 emails...
1) When the maximum amount in Budget1 is reached: "VM1 and VM2 continue to run". 2) Based on the current usage costs of the virtual machines: "one email notification will be sent each month". Explanation: Budgets don't by default interact with resources when thresholds are reached. Only one email will be sent because on RG1 the VM1 will cost around 600€ (20€ per day).
Ugh...more math (lol)
I feel you hahaha
Given answer is WRONG correct is Box 1: VM1 and VM2 continue to run => budget scope is for VM1 ONLY and hence consider it, so if another option said VM1 running and VM2 is off then it can be correct but NOT other way round Box 2: one email notification will be sent each month. as $600 is reached which is above 500 but below 700
Wrong answer Box 1: VM1 and VM2 continue to run Box 2: two email notification will be sent each month. Because is also send to alert recipients https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/costs/cost-mgt-alerts-monitor-usage-spending#budget-alerts

Given answers right
Correct
1. VM1 and VM2 continue to run. 2. one email will be sent monthly. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/manage/cost-management-budget-scenario Budgets are commonly used as part of cost control. Budgets can be scoped in Azure. For instance, you could narrow your budget view based on subscription, resource groups, or a collection of resources. In addition to using the budgets API to notify you via email when a budget threshold is reached, you can use Azure Monitor action groups to trigger an orchestrated set of actions resulting from a budget event.
