 Budgets are commonly used as part of cost control. Budgets can be scoped in Azure. For instance, you could narrow your budget view based on subscription, resource groups, or a collection of resources. In addition to using the budgets API to notify you via email when a budget threshold is reached, you can use [Azure Monitor action groups](../../azure-monitor/alerts/action-groups.md) to trigger an orchestrated set of actions resulting from a budget event.
 
-A common budgets scenario for a customer running a non-critical workload could occur when they want to manage against a budget and also get to a predictable cost when looking at the monthly invoice. This scenario requires some cost-based orchestration of resources that are part of the Azure environment. In this scenario, a monthly budget of $1000 for the subscription is set. Also, notification thresholds are set to trigger a few orchestrations. This scenario starts with an 80% cost threshold, which will stop all VMs in the resource group **Optional**. Then, at the 100% cost threshold, all VM instances will be stopped.
+A common budgets scenario for a customer running a noncritical workload could occur when they want to manage against a budget and also get to a predictable cost when looking at the monthly invoice. This scenario requires some cost-based orchestration of resources that are part of the Azure environment. In this scenario, a monthly budget of $1,000 for the subscription is set. Also, notification thresholds are set to trigger a few orchestrations. This scenario starts with an 80% cost threshold, which will stop all virtual machines (VM) in the resource group **Optional**. Then, at the 100% cost threshold, all VM instances are stopped.
 
 To configure this scenario, you'll complete the following actions by using the steps provided in each section of this tutorial.
 
 These actions included in this tutorial allow you to:
 
 - Create an Azure Automation Runbook to stop VMs by using webhooks.
 - Create an Azure Logic App to be triggered based on the budget threshold value and call the runbook with the right parameters.
-- Create an Azure Monitor Action Group that will be configured to trigger the Azure Logic App when the budget threshold is met.
+- Create an Azure Monitor Action Group that is configured to trigger the Azure Logic App when the budget threshold is met.
 - Create the budget with the wanted thresholds and wire it to the action group.
 
 ## Create an Azure Automation Runbook
 
-[Azure Automation](../../automation/automation-intro.md) is a service that enables you to script most of your resource management tasks and run those tasks as either scheduled or on-demand. As part of this scenario, you'll create an [Azure Automation runbook](../../automation/automation-runbook-types.md) that will be used to stop VMs. You'll use the [Stop Azure V2 VMs](https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Stop-Azure-ARM-VMs-1ba96d5b) graphical runbook from the [gallery](../../automation/automation-runbook-gallery.md) to build this scenario.

 # Overview of the Azure Enterprise Reporting APIs
 
-> [!Note]
+> [!NOTE]
 > Microsoft no longer updates the Azure Enterprise Reporting APIs. Instead, you should use Cost Management APIs. To learn more, see [Migrate from Azure Enterprise Reporting to Microsoft Cost Management APIs overview](../automate/migrate-ea-reporting-arm-apis-overview.md).
 
-The Azure Enterprise Reporting APIs enable Enterprise Azure customers to programmatically pull consumption and billing data into preferred data analysis tools. Enterprise customers have signed an [Enterprise Agreement (EA)](https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/enterprise-agreement/) with Azure to make negotiated Azure Prepayment (previously called monetary commitment) and gain access to custom pricing for Azure resources.

 All date and time parameters required for APIs must be represented as combined Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) values. Values returned by APIs are shown in UTC format.

 ## Data Freshness
-Etags will be returned in the response of all the above API. A change in Etag indicates the data has been refreshed.  In subsequent calls to the same API using the same parameters, pass the captured Etag with the key "If-None-Match" in the header of http request. The response status code would be "NotModified" if the data has not been refreshed any further and no data will be returned. API will return the full dataset for the required period whenever there is an etag change.
