Each book explains subscription in context, with comparison tables and the common traps.

Terms in this definition

• VMware Cloud Foundation

  Broadcom's platform for private cloud. It unifies management of NSX, vSAN, vSphere, VCF Automation and VCF Operations as one fleet; VVF, by contrast, lacks automation and cloud management.

• Set

  Secret permission in Key Vault for writing secrets; some older material refers to it as Create.

• Capacity

  A reserved block of compute for a tenant whose size is fixed by its SKU; Fabric F SKUs express it in capacity units (CUs). Workspaces assigned to it unlock features like Copilot, and from F64 upwards people with free licences can view Power BI content.

• WHERE

  Limits a SELECT, UPDATE or DELETE to just the rows meeting a condition. Omit it, and the statement hits every row.

• Share

  In OpenSharing, the container you fill with tables, views, volumes, models and notebooks for recipients. You need CREATE SHARE on the metastore to make one; add a schema and all its assets, including later ones, go with history.

• 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.

Related terms

• Activity log

  Record, held for 90 days, of control-plane operations in a subscription such as deployments and Policy events. Data-plane actions, Key Vault reads for example, are not captured.

• App Service backup

  Scheduled or on-demand custom backup saving an app's configuration and content as blobs in a storage container within the same subscription. It is configured for each app or slot and can be restored to a different one.

• Auto-delete on idle

  Once a Service Bus queue, topic or subscription has gone unused for a chosen period (five minutes at the very least), this setting removes it automatically.

• az deployment sub create

  Azure CLI command for deploying a template at the subscription level, which is how resource groups themselves can be created.

• Azure Activity

  Connector for Microsoft Sentinel that streams each subscription's activity log, via diagnostic settings, into the AzureActivity table. A subscription that was hooked up the older, legacy way needs disconnecting before you switch over.

• Azure Blueprints

  Deprecated service bundling policies, roles and templates, each assignment staying live-linked and scoped to a single subscription. Nothing new could be defined after 31 July 2026, and on 31 January 2027 it retires in favour of deployment stacks and Template Specs.

• Azure Data Share

  Azure service for sending data to another organisation's subscription as full or incremental snapshots on a schedule.

• Azure landing zone for Nonprofits

  A ready-made option aimed at nonprofit organisations. You can start small on one subscription, or take a larger platform route that reuses management and connectivity subscriptions you already run; either way no management group hierarchy is set up.
