Terms in this definition
- Foundry project
A container beneath a Foundry resource that keeps one team's agents, data, files, evaluations and project connections separate. Model deployments and resource-level connections are shared from the parent, and governance is not configured at this level.
- subscription
Entitlement bought for a product under VCF 9.0 licensing, carrying a set capacity. Where active ones share the same site, unit and product, their capacity is combined into licences, which are then allocated to vCenters.

Rather than copying on-premises allocations, this Azure Migrate assessment uses recorded CPU, RAM, IOPS and throughput data to recommend disk types and Azure VM sizes.
