Terms in this definition
- App protection policy
A set of Intune rules on managed apps that safeguards organisational data, for example by demanding a PIN or preventing copy-paste and save-as into personal apps. It works whether or not the device is enrolled.
- Real-time streaming semantic model
Covers live-fed push, streaming and PubNub models, plus streaming dashboard tiles. Microsoft now steers people towards Real-Time Intelligence in Fabric, as these are being retired and new ones can only be made until 31 October 2027.
- CRUD
Shorthand for create, read, update and delete, the four basic things you do with data. Data-plane roles in Azure Cosmos DB, for instance, authorise those operations on items.
- Eventstream
Lets you pull live events into Microsoft Fabric from Apache Kafka, Azure IoT Hub, Azure Event Hubs and similar sources, reshape them and pass them on elsewhere, all with no coding; it belongs to Real-Time Intelligence.
- Connection
Resource that attaches a virtual network gateway to its peer, which may be an ExpressRoute circuit, a second VNet gateway (Vnet2Vnet) or a local network gateway over IPsec. Resetting it recovers a single tunnel and avoids rebooting the whole gateway.
- AMQP
Short for Advanced Message Queuing Protocol; Service Bus and Event Hubs accept it as well as HTTPS.
- Azure Event Hubs
Azure service for ingesting telemetry at high volume over HTTPS or AMQP; diagnostic settings can send data to it.
- Microsoft Entra ID
Cloud identity service from Microsoft, previously named Azure AD, which provides the tenant behind Microsoft 365 and Azure.
