Terms in this definition

• VARIANT

  A type for semi-structured data like JSON whose structure isn't fixed, available from Databricks Runtime 15.4. It is preferred to storing JSON as strings but can't serve as a partition column.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
