Question 941 An administrator wants Microsoft-authored recommendations to optimize a healthy resource, not announcements about Azure platform outages. Which service is a better fit? Use Azure Cost Management budgets alone as an optimization recommendation engine Azure Advisor Azure Service Health as a right-sizing engine A VM availability set as a portal recommendation dashboard Explanation Correct Answer B:Advisor targets best-practice optimization rather than service incident notices. Incorrect Answers A:Cost budgets help track spending thresholds, but Advisor supplies supported resource optimization guidance across several categories. C:Service Health focuses on Azure incidents and maintenance. D:Placement isn't guidance.
Question 942 A recommendation was generated last month before major scaling changes. What should the operator do? Assume every historical recommendation stays accurate forever Rename the resource to reset its price automatically Delete all performance data before reviewing Reassess it against current resource configuration and utilization Explanation Correct Answer D:Optimization guidance should be evaluated with up-to-date workload data. Incorrect Answers A:Workloads change. B:Names don't guarantee current economics. C:Removing evidence undermines evaluation.
Question 943 An Azure service used by a company has no Advisor recommendations. Which interpretation is responsible?

Incorrect Answers A:Metadata isn't a service assurance certificate. C:Absence of advice isn't a certification. D:Code defects may not be within recommendation coverage.

Question 945 A business needs advance notice of planned maintenance that could affect one of its Azure services. Which capability helps?

Incorrect Answers B:CPU telemetry may be normal before maintenance and is not a source for published platform maintenance windows. C:Object storage tiering doesn't announce infrastructure updates. D:Past resource telemetry does not publish upcoming provider maintenance events for subscribed services.
Question 946 An operations team doesn't want to manually check status pages every morning for subscription-impacting incidents. What can it configure? A VM availability set with no alert configuration A Blob lifecycle deletion rule Only a cost budget alert Service Health alerts delivered through suitable action groups Explanation Correct Answer D:Service Health can trigger notifications for supported health events. Incorrect Answers A:Fault domains don't email incident notices by themselves. B:Retention actions aren't incident notifications. C:Spending thresholds don't identify platform outages.
Question 947 An application is failing in one Azure region, but Service Health shows no known platform incident. What should the team conclude? Investigate application telemetry and resource health; no platform notice doesn't prove the app is healthy The app must be error-free if Microsoft reports no incident Cost Management should be the only diagnosis tool Every HTTP 500 error automatically creates a Service Health incident Explanation Correct Answer A:Service Health is not a universal diagnostic for every customer application. Incorrect Answers B:Application code can fail independently. C:Spending reports aren't exception traces. D:Customer runtime failures are not always platform events.
Question 948 A Microsoft service advisory announces a product change affecting a subscription. Which Azure source helps the owner evaluate the notice?

Incorrect Answers B:Forecasting isn't an incident timeline. C:Inventory sorting doesn't reconstruct outages. D:Image identity doesn't show cloud platform incident chronology.
Question 950 A public Azure status page shows a worldwide view, but a company needs impacts for its own subscriptions. Which information source is more targeted?
