Answer should be B and D Spending limit on Azure account affects all the subscription not just a specific resource group and it is a feature provided for specific subscription types like the free one. The way to achieve the requirements is by doing the following: 1. Azure Monitor > Alerts > Manage Actions > create action groups with action type "Automation Runbook" > stop VM 2. Create budgets scoped by the resource groups > in the alert section choose the previously created action groups.

Some resource is needed to shut down the VMS. The spending limit of an Azure account does not have this behavior. I am not sure whether a Logic App or Automation Runbook.

The problem with spending limits is they don't exist on "real" subscription types. Nobody with production running in Azure should have spending limits available to them. PayGo, EA, CSP, Azure Plan--none of these subscription types support spending limits. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/legal/offer-details/

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.

Thats correct arseyam. You need to create a budget for the resource group scope and set an alert with an action group to shutdown the VM.

Answer is B & D According to the MS-Article: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/manage/cost-management-budget-scenario You need to have: 1) Azure Budget 2) Azure Monitor to create an alert and actions for this alert (Action Groups) 3) the action group run the App Logic Workflow The answer can include only 2 actions, so step 1) -> D and step 2) -> B

Wrong because the provided MS article associates an action group directly to a budget => No Azure Monitor alert is involded. But the document talks about Logic App => answer is: A + D.

A & D. Here is the snippet from the docs You're done with all the supporting components needed to effectively orchestrate your budget. Now all you need to do is create the budget and configure it to use the action group you created.

Create an Azure Automation Runbook to stop VMs by using webhooks. Create an Azure Logic App to be triggered based on the budget threshold value and call the runbook with the right parameters. Create an Azure Monitor Action Group that will be configured to trigger the Azure Logic App when the budget threshold is met. Create the Azure budget with the wanted thresholds and wire it to the action group.

Update: Here the budget would have to be set against the resource group. While my choice is still A & D, I have the wrong explanation here.Please ignore it. I wish there were a delete, undo or update uption.

What I dont understand is that everyone here talks about the VM which is not at all part of the question. What happens if a particular department uses some other resources?

As explained in the following link, once you set the "Spending limit", on reaching this limit of consumption, the resources that you are using is automatically shut down. So you dont need any monitoring or action group. This configuration of spending limit is part of Azure Cost management. So, for me the given answers of C and D looks fine. I dont understand why everyone is talking about the VM as nothing about VM is mentioned in the given question. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/manage/spending-limit

the example https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/manage/cost-management-budget-scenario Budget alert --> (Monitor alerts --Action group, Actions) ---> logic app (end email and http)--> http request runbook by webhook url you don't need to have the logic app anyway.

i will only select A (Logic app) if you need send Email , then shutdown (call azure monitor alert, then action group (runbook). we dont need send email, therefore ,the answer is B & D

This one's not straightforward. The real catch here is that the best doc I've seen in this discussion describes using 3 of the 4 technologies--A, B, and D. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/manage/cost-management-budget-scenario

A, D please refer https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/manage/cost-management-budget-scenario#create-an-azure-logic-app-for-orchestration.... it explains exact same scenario.. Budgets can be set up to trigger a notification when a specified threshold is met. You can provide multiple thresholds to be notified at and the Logic App.. The logic app will be used to shut down all VMs in the resource group when threshold met.
