Terms in this definition

• Route table label

  Name for a set of route tables in Virtual WAN hubs, used when choosing where routes propagate; Default, for instance, covers the defaultRouteTable of every hub.

• Databricks

  Analytics platform built on Apache Spark where data is processed in notebooks; Unity Catalog is the governance model it recommends.

• Agent

  A specialised form of Microsoft Copilot set up for one particular job, pairing instructions with knowledge and skills. You can create one in Copilot Studio, SharePoint or Agent Builder, and administrators control them from the Microsoft 365 admin center.

Related terms

• ABAC DENY policy

  A Beta policy type that blocks MANAGE ACCESS CONTROL wherever a securable carries matching governed tags; even ownership or an explicit grant can't get round it. The legacy Hive metastore's SQL DENY is a different thing.

• Agent Runtime

  Custom agents on Model Serving are legacy now; their replacement runs agent servers serverlessly on Databricks Apps. Each one has tracing through MLflow, a service principal as its identity, an authenticated endpoint and up to five instances.

• AI Guardrails

  The legacy AI Gateway way of filtering unsafe content and personal data on a serving endpoint. Unity Gateway service policies are now preferred.

• AI Playground

  A chat interface for trying out LLMs, experimenting with prompts and comparing models next to each other. Using it to build agents is now considered a legacy route.

• AI/BI dashboard

  The current dashboard type in Azure Databricks: AI helps you author it, its data stays governed by Unity Catalog, and publishing adds a companion Genie Agent. The legacy SQL dashboards it replaced can no longer be opened.

• AppLocker

  Microsoft now steers customers to App Control for Business, since this legacy feature gets no new capabilities. It controls which executables, scripts, installers, DLLs and packaged apps may run through Group Policy rules.

• Azure Activity

  Connector for Microsoft Sentinel that streams each subscription's activity log, via diagnostic settings, into the AzureActivity table. A subscription that was hooked up the older, legacy way needs disconnecting before you switch over.

• Azure Container Instances

  Way to run container groups without any cluster, billed per second. It offers neither autoscaling nor spreading across zones, and Azure Machine Learning treats it as a legacy v1 deployment target.
