Terms in this definition
- Preliminary Phase
The opening phase of the ADM readies the organisation: here the Architecture Capability is set up, the framework is adapted to fit and the Architecture Principles are agreed.
- Scope
Where an access or policy assignment takes effect. It can be set on a single resource, a resource group, a subscription or a management group, and settings flow down from higher levels.
- Budget
A spending threshold you set in Cost Management for a management group, subscription or resource group. Alerts go out as real or forecast costs approach it, yet hitting the figure never halts any resource; wiring it to an action group lets automation react.
- Governance
Keeping cloud deployments in line with an organisation's rules on technology, security and compliance, helped by Azure Policy, tags and resource locks.
- WHERE
Limits a SELECT, UPDATE or DELETE to just the rows meeting a condition. Omit it, and the statement hits every row.
