Terms in this definition
- 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.
- Nutanix Move
Shifts files and VMs between hypervisors, say Hyper-V or ESXi over to AHV, keeping downtime low.
- OVER
Gives a T-SQL window function its window: PARTITION BY, ORDER BY and, if wanted, a ROWS or RANGE frame. Rankings and running totals can then be worked out while every row is kept.
- RAMP
The approach used by the Cloud Adoption Framework's Manage methodology to structure cloud operations: teams, duties, processes and tools. It divides what the central platform handles from what each workload handles.
- Azure Functions trigger
Every function is started by exactly one thing. That thing might be a web call over HTTP, a schedule, the arrival of a blob, a message landing in a queue or a change in a database.
- Cutover
The closing step of a Nutanix Move migration, following data seeding, when chosen VMs switch over to the target. Downtime happens at this point and no other.
Related terms
- Architecture Definition Increments Table
Checks a migration plan: for every planned project it shows which slice of the target architecture that project contributes, so that the roadmap built in Phase F can be confirmed against its intermediate states.
- Move environment
Nutanix Move needs each source and target set up as one of these ahead of any migration plan. When the environment is AOS, whether via Prism Element or Prism Central, only admin credentials work.
