Microsoft Certified: Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900) Practice Exam

Which service helps you diagnose and obtain support when an Azure service issue affects your resources?

1. Azure Status

2. Resource Health

3. Azure Monitor

4. Azure Service Health

The correct answer is: Azure Monitor

The service that specifically helps you diagnose and obtain support during Azure service issues that impact your resources is Azure Service Health. This service provides personalized alerts and guidance when Azure service issues affect your resources. It informs you about service outages, planned maintenance, and other service events that could impact your resources, allowing you to take appropriate action. While Azure Monitor is valuable for observing and analyzing performance metrics across your resources, its primary function is monitoring rather than directly diagnosing service issues or providing updates about service interruptions. In contrast, Azure Status offers a general overview of the overall health of Azure services globally, but does not focus on personalization or specific resources you might be using. Resource Health provides insights into the health of your Azure resources and helps you understand your resources' availability, but it does not deliver notifications or updates on broader service issues. This makes Azure Service Health the best fit for the specific need for diagnostics and support related to Azure service issues affecting resources.
