Terms in this definition
- Azure Storage
You reach this Azure data storage platform through a storage account; it covers blobs (Data Lake Storage included), file shares, queues and tables.
- Nonzonal
Describes a resource with no availability zone configuration. Azure can put it in any zone, so it may go offline if that zone fails.
- Service endpoint
Sends a subnet's traffic to an Azure service's public endpoint across the Microsoft backbone, identifying the subnet as the source. It is free, uses no subnet IP addresses and cannot be used from on-premises networks.
- Subnet
A segment of a VNet's address space from which resources receive private IPs. Azure holds back five addresses per subnet (the first four and the last), leaving 251 usable in a /24 and three in a /29, the smallest IPv4 subnet.
- ALL
A DAX function that ignores any filters and gives back every row of a table or every value of the named columns. Used within CALCULATE, it works as a modifier that clears filters, although REMOVEFILTERS states that intent more clearly where it is available.
- General-purpose v1
The older storage account kind (
Storage), which lacks access tiers, Archive and premium file shares and retires on 13 October 2026. Converting to ZRS requires first upgrading to GPv2, a one-way change. - AGDLP
Nesting pattern: users go into global groups, which go into domain local groups, which receive the permissions. AGUDLP adds universal groups for forests with several domains.
- region
A provider-defined grouping in VCF Automation of Supervisors that all share one NSX Local Manager; tenants consume its compute, storage and memory via quotas set per region.
Related terms
- Microsoft.Storage.Global
Variant of the storage service endpoint that reaches accounts in every region rather than only the local one. A subnet may enable either this or the regional Microsoft.Storage, never both.
