• Which Azure service would you deploy to detect a sudden spike in network traffic?
• Network Performance Monitor solution:

Network Performance Monitor is a cloud-based hybrid network monitoring solution that provide capabilities to  monitor network performance between various points in your network infrastructure.

You can leverage this service to:

• Monitor network connectivity to service and application endpoints
• Monitor the performance of Azure ExpressRoute.

 

Network Performance Monitor offers three broad capabilities:

1. Performance Monitor
2. Service Connectivity Monitor
3. ExpressRoute Monitor

 

You can easily detect these kinds of issues by looking at a trend chart. The issue appears as a sudden spike in network latency or packet loss. To investigate the issue, use the Network State Recorder control to view the network snapshot and topology for that point in time when the issue occurred.
