Terms in this definition
- Set
Secret permission in Key Vault for writing secrets; some older material refers to it as Create.
- Virtual switch
An AHV construct for managing bridges and uplinks, made of nodes plus their uplink ports with one OVS bridge pooled across them. It covers either one cluster or several.

- Virtual machines
Infrastructure-as-a-service compute giving complete control of the operating system, making it a fit for lift-and-shift moves and for software relying on OS-level pieces like COM.
- VLAN
