Terms in this definition
- Azure Machine Learning component

First-generation Foundry Agent Service API, based on threads, messages and runs. It is deprecated, replaced by conversations and responses, and retires on 31 March 2027.

Related terms
- direct attached storage
Covers repositories built on servers with their own local or connected disks, whether Windows, Linux or hardened. Every such server hosts a Veeam Data Mover.
- single-use credentials
Used just once, to install the Veeam Data Mover when adding a Linux server such as a hardened repository, and not saved afterwards. An attacker who takes over the backup server therefore has nothing to reuse.
