During a maintenance window, an unrelated service outside the window's scope begins failing. What happens?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
That is the whole point of scoping it. If a window silenced everything, it would just be an outage with permission. You only suppress the entities the window covers, so unrelated services still alert normally.
Full Explanation
The correct answer is that it alerts normally, because suppression applies only to the entities the window covers. Suppression is bound to the entities named in the window. Services outside it are unaffected and alert as they always would, which is what makes the practice safe to use in production.
The global-suppression answer is incorrect because global suppression is precisely the behaviour scoping exists to avoid.
The telemetry-discarded answer is incorrect because telemetry collection is not affected by maintenance windows at all.
The queued-alerts answer is incorrect because out-of-scope alerts are not queued; they are delivered when they occur.
For the exam, remember that scope determines what is suppressed and nothing else is.
