When planning to migrate a public website to Azure, you must plan to pay monthly usage costs. This is because Azure uses the pay-as-you-go model.
You attempt to create several managed Microsoft SQL Server instances in an Azure environment and receive a message that you must increase your Azure subscription limits.
What should you do to increase the limits?
Create a service health alert
Upgrade your support plan
Modify an Azure policy
Create a new support request
Answer is Create a new support request
Many Azure resource have quote limits. The purpose of the quota limits is to help you control your Azure costs. However, it is common to require an increase to the default quota.
You can request a quota limit increase by opening a support request. In the support request, select Service and subscription limits (quotas) for the Issue type, select your subscription and the service you want to increase the quota for. For this question, you would select SQL Database Managed Instance as the quote type.

You need to be notified when Microsoft plans to perform maintenance that can affect the resources deployed to an Azure subscription.
What should you use?
Azure Monitor
Azure Service Health
Azure Advisor
Microsoft Trust Center
Answer is Azure Service Health
Azure Service Health provides a personalized view of the health of the Azure services and regions you're using. This is the best place to look for service impacting communications about outages, planned maintenance activities, and other health advisories because the authenticated Service Health experience knows which services and resources you currently use.

deploy a VPN
pay monthly usage costs
pay to transfer all the website data to Azure.
reduce the number of connections to the website.
Answer is pay monthly usage costs
When migrating a public website to Azure, you need to plan for the pricing model that Azure provides. Azure charges for the usage of resources such as virtual machines, storage, and data transfer. Therefore, you need to plan to pay monthly usage costs for hosting the website on Azure. Deploying a VPN, paying to transfer all the website data to Azure, or reducing the number of connections to the website are not necessarily required for migrating a public website to Azure.
