Understanding the Differences Between Azure Service Health and Azure Advisor

Azure Service Health and Azure Advisor are both Microsoft Azure services, however they serve distinct objectives.

When Azure service issues affect an organization's resources, Azure Service Health delivers tailored notifications and recommendations. It aids in the monitoring of Azure services' health and gives information on service outages, planned maintenance, and other events that may have an impact on an organization's resources.

You may set up a health alert to be alerted of certain events based on specific services in certain regions and event types.

Azure Advisor, on the other hand, is a personalised consultant service that analyses an organization's Azure use and settings in order to make advice on best practises and improvements. It gives tailored suggestions for optimising Azure resources for reliability, performance, security, cost-efficiency, and operational excellence.

You can also configure alerts to be notified when new notifications arrive.
