Terms in this definition
- DNS
The system that turns names into addresses. In Azure, private endpoints depend on private DNS zones, which are queried through 168.63.129.16.
- Dedicated
Running Azure Functions on an App Service plan, which removes the execution time limit and offers VNet integration on Basic and higher tiers.
- 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.
- Ruleset
A named set of GitHub rules for branches, tags or pushes, applied at repository or organisation level. Several can stack and each can be turned on or off, making them the modern replacement for branch protection rules.
- HAVING
Applies a condition to groups produced by GROUP BY, often on an aggregate such as SUM(). WHERE works earlier, on individual rows before they are grouped.
Related terms
- DNS forwarding ruleset
Up to 1,000 rules sending named domains to target IPs, bound to an outbound endpoint of a DNS Private Resolver and linked to same-region VNets, which needn't peer with the resolver's VNet. 168.63.129.16 can't be a target.
