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.
- Nutanix Move
Shifts files and VMs between hypervisors, say Hyper-V or ESXi over to AHV, keeping downtime low.
- Managed disks
Block storage disks for VMs whose underlying storage accounts Azure looks after. The only redundancy choices are LRS and ZRS.
Related terms
- Account SAS
Shared access signature created with an account key. One token may cover multiple services (ss), resource types (srt) and permissions (sp), service-level operations included, but turning off Shared Key authorisation blocks it.
- URI
Text that points to a resource. Move, for example, reaches Azure disks with a SAS URI.
