Within Azure Portal, is it possible to have an alert fire when a virtual machine has been resized manually? Autoscaling is not enabled so I am looking to have an alert triggered by the resizing of a virtual machine manually.

Is it as simple as configuring the 'Create or Update Virtual Machine (Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines)' alert?

Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

A sample implementation has been provided i.e. Alert when CPU usage has been over 80 percent for more than 5 minutes: https://petri.com/automatically-resize-azure-vm

Yes, it is that simple. But it will also give you alerts that are not caused by resizing.
