Microsoft DevOps Engineer Expert AZ-400 Practice Question
You manage multiple Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters across different subscriptions. You must start collecting node-level performance metrics (CPU, memory, and disk), Kubernetes event logs, and container stdout/stderr streams in a single Log Analytics workspace so that the clusters automatically appear in Azure Monitor Container Insights workbooks. Network security policy blocks privileged containers that are not Microsoft-signed, and you need the quickest approach with minimal manual effort. What should you do for each cluster?
Enable VM Insights for the cluster nodes and deploy the Dependency agent extension to every node pool.
From the Azure portal, open each AKS cluster, select Insights, click Enable, and choose the shared Log Analytics workspace.
Add the Application Insights SDK to every container image and set the instrumentation key as an environment variable.
Use Helm to install the azuremonitor/container-azm-ms-agentchart on each cluster, providing the workspace ID and key manually.
Enabling Container Insights from the Azure portal (Insights blade) pushes Microsoft-signed monitoring components to the cluster as a DaemonSet and automatically connects them to the selected Log Analytics workspace. This collects performance counters, container logs, and Kubernetes events that drive the Container Insights workbooks. Injecting the Application Insights SDK gathers only application telemetry, not node or container metrics. VM Insights targets traditional virtual machines and does not ingest Kubernetes events or container logs. Manually deploying the Helm chart also works, but it requires additional steps and script maintenance, making it slower and more error-prone than the portal-based enablement.
