In most enterprise environments governance dictates how alerting for a certain resource needs to look like. Until just recently Azure Monitor only supported to configure alerts based on individual resources and this had to be replicated throughout the organization.

Deploying resources and workloads at scale requires a healthy amount of automation. Automation helps to deliver consistent and repeatable results. I’ve tried to categorize some of the technology and provide some pointers to areas of application and pros and cons.

A request that I get many times is to provide guidance and best-practices on how to implement monitoring and operations management with and/or for Azure. Most organizations have subtle differences which makes it hard to put out a generic concept of how to enable this. There are high-level ideas but in my discussions with customers and partners I’m hearing that this is not detailed enough.
