- Metadata
Describes data rather than being the data itself, for instance how a file is laid out or what rows each chunk contains, so tools can read things efficiently.
- Azure Policy
Azure service that audits and enforces how resources are configured, for example their location, SKU or tags, using definitions and assignments. It neither deploys resources nor controls access.
