I don't believe this is correct, an action group defines actions including emailing but NOT which alerts they would respond to. By itself just setting up an action group does NOT meet the goal. You need to setup an alert rule to define the condition (in this case scaling in or out) which would then perform the actions defined in the action group. Without the alert rule the action group does nothing. It would certainly be part of the solution but doesn't by itself meet the goal.

I also don't believe this is correct, we need alert rule first. For me, the right answer is in the "Topic 3 - Question Set 3 and Question #2": Solution: From Azure Monitor, configure the autoscale settings. We are able to get to "Autoscale setting" from Monitor. We are able to be notified just by adding email address in Notify section/tab of "Autoscale setting".

Maybe that part is already implemented. How do you understand this ? "When Azure Monitor data indicates that there might be a problem with your infrastructure or application, an alert is triggered. " If this already done and the alert is triggered then I think we just need to setup the action group

Selected Answer: A

The correct answer is: A. Yes Explanation: An action group in Azure Monitor is a core component of Azure's alerting mechanism. When an autoscale event occurs (scale-in or scale-out), it triggers an alert in Azure Monitor, which can invoke an action group. The action group defines how the alert is handled, such as sending an email notification, making it sufficient to meet the requirements. The documentation you referenced highlights that Azure Monitor integrates with action groups to send notifications or trigger automated actions when there’s an issue with the infrastructure or application. Since an alert generated from autoscaling can be configured to use an action group to send an email, this solution directly addresses the need to notify users when scaling events occur.

Selected Answer: B

action group alone doesn't do anything, it just specifies the notification details but you need an alert with condition.

A is the answer. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/alerts/action-groups When Azure Monitor data indicates that there might be a problem with your infrastructure or application, an alert is triggered. Alerts can contain action groups, which are a collection of notification preferences. Azure Monitor, Azure Service Health, and Azure Advisor use action groups to notify users about the alert and take an action. Each action is made up of the following properties: - Type: The notification that's sent or action that's performed. Examples include sending a voice call, SMS, or email. You can also trigger various types of automated actions. - Name: A unique identifier within the action group. - Details: The corresponding details that vary by type.
