Terms in this definition
- Microsoft 365
Formerly Office 365, Microsoft's software-as-a-service productivity suite. A Microsoft Entra tenant provides its identity, and its data is not governed by Azure RBAC.
- Custom domain
A DNS name of your own attached to a service. In an Entra tenant it is verified through a TXT or MX record, and every on-premises UPN suffix used to sign in must be one (.local can't be); for App Service it is bound with CNAME or TXT validation.
- Set
Secret permission in Key Vault for writing secrets; some older material refers to it as Create.
- 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.
- Once flow
A flow that executes a single time and repeats only if the pipeline is fully refreshed. It's a common choice for a first full load ahead of a change feed, and that refresh becomes dangerous once the original files no longer exist.
