With Resource alarms, you can track and get alerts based on events related to resources. Presently, we support two events – 'added' and 'deleted' and you can use operators, service tiers, resource groups to further constrain a trigger condition for the alarm. So you can setup "notify me if any new resource is created" or you can be specific - "notify me whenever a new SQL Database of greater than Standard Tier is created"
