Terms in this definition
- PostgreSQL
Short for Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL, a Citus-based distributed relational service that scales writes out horizontally. New projects are steered away from it towards Azure Database for PostgreSQL elastic clusters.
- Flexible Server
For Azure Database for PostgreSQL and Azure Database for MySQL alike, the fully managed way to deploy, with fine control over settings and how the database is run.
- Chat message roles
Labels on chat messages: instructions go under system, the person's input under user, the model's previous answers under assistant, and results returned by a called tool under tool (or function).
- Managed identity
Identity in Microsoft Entra given to an Azure resource so that no secret has to be stored. It comes in two kinds: user-assigned and system-assigned.
- Service principal
The tenant-local instance of a managed identity or app registration, which users and Azure or directory roles are assigned to. Those from app registrations authenticate with a stored certificate or secret that needs rotating and can be copied, which suits code running outside Azure.
- LSDOU
The sequence in which Group Policy is processed: the local policy first, followed by site, domain and organisational unit policies. The nearest, last-processed setting takes effect unless Enforced or Block Inheritance alters that.
- Set
Secret permission in Key Vault for writing secrets; some older material refers to it as Create.
