Overview -
Fabrikam, Inc. is an engineering company that has offices throughout Europe. The company has a main office in London and three branch offices in Amsterdam,
Berlin, and Rome.
Existing Environment -
Active Directory Environment -
The network contains two Active Directory forests named corp.fabrikam.com and rd.fabrikam.com. There are no trust relationships between the forests.
Corp.fabrikam.com is a production forest that contains identities used for internal user and computer authentication.
Rd.fabrikam.com is used by the research and development (R&D) department only.
Network Infrastructure -
Each office contains at least one domain controller from the corp.fabrikam.com domain. The main office contains all the domain controllers for the rd.fabrikam.com forest.
All the offices have a high-speed connection to the Internet.
An existing application named WebApp1 is hosted in the data center of the London office. WebApp1 is used by customers to place and track orders.
WebApp1 has a web tier that uses Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) and a database tier that runs Microsoft SQL Server 2016. The web tier and the database tier are deployed to virtual machines that run on Hyper-V.
The IT department currently uses a separate Hyper-V environment to test updates to WebApp1.
Fabrikam purchases all Microsoft licenses through a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement that includes Software Assurance.
Problem Statements -
The use of Web App1 is unpredictable. At peak times, users often report delays. At other times, many resources for WebApp1 are underutilized.

Any new deployments to Azure must be redundant in case an Azure region fails.
Whenever possible, solutions must be deployed to Azure by using platform as a service (PaaS).
An email distribution group named IT Support must be notified of any issues relating to the directory synchronization services.
Directory synchronization between Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) and corp.fabrikam.com must not be affected by a link failure between Azure and the on- premises network.
Database Requirements -
Fabrikam identifies the following database requirements:
Database metrics for the production instance of WebApp1, must be available for analysis so that database administrators can optimize the performance settings.
To avoid disrupting customer access, database downtime must be minimized when databases are migrated.
Database backups must be retained for a minimum of seven years to meet compliance requirements.
Security Requirements -
Fabrikam identifies the following security requirements:
Company information including policies, templates, and data must be inaccessible to anyone outside the company.
Users on the on-premises network must be able to authenticate to corp.fabrikam.com if an Internet link fails.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/how-to-connect-health-operationsTo meet the technical requirements for the Fabrikam company, a notification solution needs to be recommended for the IT Support distribution group. This group needs to be notified of any issues related to the directory synchronization services, ensuring directory synchronization between Azure AD and corp.fabrikam.com is not affected by a link failure between Azure and the on-premises network.
The recommendation for a notification solution for the IT Support distribution group should be an action group. An action group is a collection of notification preferences and actions that can be reused across multiple Azure monitoring services. Action groups enable the Fabrikam company to define a list of actions to take during a service event in one place and assign it to one or more monitoring services. The IT Support distribution group can be added as a recipient of notifications for the action group.
An action group allows Fabrikam to define the following notification settings:
Azure Network Watcher is a service that provides monitoring and diagnostic capabilities for Azure network resources. It is not suitable for the recommended solution as it is not designed for notification purposes.
SendGrid is a cloud-based email service that can be used to send transactional and marketing emails. Although it offers advanced reporting capabilities, it is not suitable for the recommended solution as it does not provide the required notification features.
Azure AD Connect Health is a cloud-based service that provides monitoring and reporting for directory synchronization between on-premises Active Directory and Azure AD. Although it provides monitoring capabilities, it does not offer the notification features required for the recommended solution.
In summary, the recommended notification solution for the IT Support distribution group should be an action group, which allows Fabrikam to define a list of actions to take during a service event and assign it to one or more monitoring services. This solution meets the technical requirements for notifying the IT Support distribution group of any issues related to the directory synchronization services.
