AZURE TERMINOLOGY

Affinity Group: Way to tell Azure that two elements should always be together and close to one another. (Aggregation, reduced latency, lower cost)

Storage Account: Azure account to store disks

Virtual Network: Logically isolated section in Azure that can be connected to on-prem datacenter or single machine. 99.9% monthly SLA.

Cloud Service: Container for VMs. Security boundary. Allows load balancing, high availability and communications between VMs. (Code + Config for PaSS). A cloud service is created automatically when a VM is created. Get a public IP. (New-AzureReservedIP)

VIP (Virtual IP): Public IP address pointing to the cloud service where VM is deployed. IP is not released until all VMs in cloud services are stopped (Deallocated) or deleted.

DIP (Direct/Internal IP assigned by DHCP): IP assigned for within Azure communication. Released when VP is Stopped (Deallocated). (Set-AzureStaticVNetIP)

Virtual Machine: On-demand scalable compute infrastructure. 99.95% monthly SLA ~ 21minutes/month

Availability Set (Azure): Related to Fault domains (Avoid single point of failure for rack, switch etc.) and update domains (Not all hosts of VMS are updated at the same time).

Availability Group (SQL): contains databases that are highly-available and recoverable.

IOPS: 20,000 IOPS per storage account. 500 IOPS per disk
