A company has a critical application that generates a high volume of telemetry. They want to use Application Insights to monitor it, but they are concerned about the cost of data ingestion and retention. They also want to ensure that all telemetry is available for querying for at least 30 days. What should they do?

Use the Azure Monitor Agent to collect telemetry and send it to a Log Analytics workspace with 30-day retention.

Disable sampling to ensure all telemetry is collected, and set the retention period to 30 days.

Use sampling in Application Insights to reduce the volume of telemetry, and set the retention period to 30 days.

Use Application Insights with the default settings, which automatically optimize cost and retention.

A company runs containerized workloads on Azure Container Instances (ACI) and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). They want to monitor the performance and logs of these containers and also want to use Application Insights for application-level telemetry. What should they do?

Use the Azure Monitor Agent on each container to collect logs and performance data.

Enable Container Insights only for AKS, and use the Azure Monitor Agent for ACI.

Use Application Insights only, as it can monitor container infrastructure and application telemetry.

Enable Container Insights for AKS and ACI, and instrument applications with the Application Insights SDK.

A company uses Azure Files for shared storage. The IT team wants to monitor file share usage, latency, and availability, and they want to set up alerts when latency exceeds a threshold. What should you do?

Use Azure Monitor Logs to query storage metrics without enabling diagnostic settings.

Use Application Insights to monitor the file share by adding the SDK to the application.

Enable Azure Monitor for Storage and create metric alerts on latency.

Use Azure Monitor for VMs on the storage account and create log alerts.

To enable Azure Monitor for Containers on an AKS cluster, what must be deployed to the cluster?

The Dependency agent as a sidecar

A Log Analytics agent as a DaemonSet
