24. You can monitor the health and availability of your applications
using the health metrics dashboard and set up alert rules to be
notified when your service availability is degraded. You can also
define an event of interest, be notified in real-time when the
event occurs, and perform actions based on the events. Windows
Azure allows you to configure your application to automatically
scale up or down to match the current demands while minimizing
costs with auto scale rules.
