Terms in this definition
- DRS
The Default Rule Set, Microsoft's managed WAF rules that succeed OWASP CRS and defend against XSS, SQL injection and other frequent attacks. Single rules may be overridden or switched off.
- IPMI
A port and interface for managing a node out of band. Each node needs three addresses and this is one of them; Foundation also works through it when imaging.
- Once flow
A flow that executes a single time and repeats only if the pipeline is fully refreshed. It's a common choice for a first full load ahead of a change feed, and that refresh becomes dangerous once the original files no longer exist.
- 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.
