Terms in this definition
- Subdomain
A domain nested under a Fabric domain to group workspaces more finely. It doesn't get its own admins, since admins of the parent domain look after it, and for now only general settings are available for it.
- LIKE
Compares strings with a pattern that can contain the % and _ wildcards. Because it only understands character patterns, searching big volumes of text this way is much slower than using full-text search.
- DNS
The system that turns names into addresses. In Azure, private endpoints depend on private DNS zones, which are queried through 168.63.129.16.
- NS record
Name-server record in DNS that delegates a zone; one is generated automatically at each zone's apex.
- Set
Secret permission in Key Vault for writing secrets; some older material refers to it as Create.
