Terms in this definition
- App Service
Managed PaaS hosting for web apps and Web App for Containers, run in a sandbox without OS access. Deployment slots and autoscale start at the Standard tier.
- Azure Relay
Messaging service connecting cloud and on-premises endpoints through outbound connections on port 443, without a VPN, inbound ports or VNet routing. The on-premises data gateway and App Service Hybrid Connections rely on it.
- 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.
- Geographic
A Traffic Manager routing method that picks the endpoint according to where the user is located geographically.
