Azure Features Flashcards
What is Azure Access Review
Azure Access Review is a feature in Azure Active Directory that allows organizations to periodically review and certify user access to Azure AD resources.
What are Shared Access Signatures
Shared Access Signatures (SAS) in Azure are a secure way to grant time-limited and scoped access to Azure Storage resources, such as blobs, containers, queues, or tables.
What are Conditional Access policies?
A Conditional Access policy in Azure Active Directory is a security feature that allows organizations to define specific access controls and policies based on various conditions.
These policies enable organizations to apply dynamic access controls to protect resources and data, taking into account factors such as user location, device health, user risk, and sign-in behavior.
What are Certificates
Certificates are digital documents that serve as a form of identification and authentication in computer systems and networks.
They are issued by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA) and contain information such as the owner’s public key, identification details, and the CA’s digital signature.
Common types of certificates include SSL/TLS certificates for secure websites, code signing certificates for software integrity, and client certificates for user authentication.
What are Access Keys
Access keys in Azure are the primary credentials used to authenticate and authorize access to Azure resources within an Azure subscription.
Each Azure subscription has two access keys, also known as shared access keys or account keys: a primary key and a secondary key.
Access keys act as the equivalent of a username and password combination and are used in conjunction with the Azure Management API or SDKs to authenticate and interact with Azure resources programmatically.
Azure AD Application Proxy
allows organizations to securely publish on-premises web applications to external users.
It enables remote access to internal web applications without the need for a VPN connection
What is Azure Arc
Azure Arc is a service in Azure that extends Azure’s management and services to resources outside of Azure.
With Azure Arc, you can centrally manage and monitor resources across hybrid environments, leveraging Azure’s capabilities and consistent management experience.
What is Azure Databricks
Azure Databricks is a fast, scalable, and collaborative Apache Spark-based analytics platform provided as a fully managed service in the Azure cloud.
It offers features such as automated cluster management, built-in collaboration tools, notebook-based development, and integration with popular Azure services and tools.
Azure Databricks enables organizations to process and analyze large volumes of data, build advanced analytics models, and derive insights from data in a scalable and efficient manner.
What is Azure Data Lake Store?
Azure Data Lake Store is a scalable and secure cloud-based storage service that allows you to store and access data of any size or type. It provides a hierarchical file system and supports distributed file systems, making it suitable for storing big data and enabling high-throughput data processing.
What is Azure Traffic Analytics
Traffic Analytics gives you statistical data and traffic visualization like total inbound and outbound flows and the number of deployed NSGs
What is Azure Network Watcher
a comprehensive network monitoring and diagnostic service in Azure that provides insights and visibility into Azure network resources.
Features Include:
Connection Monitor
Packet Capture
IP Flow Verify
Next Hop
VPN Troubleshoot
Security Group View
NSG Flow Logs

What is Azure Connection Monitor
Allows you to continuously monitor the connectivity between different network endpoints, such as virtual machines or Azure services, to identify any network issues or latency.
What is Packet Capture
Enables the capture and analysis of network traffic packets for troubleshooting and diagnostics.
What is IP Flow Verify
Validates network flow rules by verifying the connectivity and routing between source and destination IP addresses, subnets, and ports.
What is Next Hop
Helps determine the next hop for network traffic, providing insights into the routing path taken by packets between network devices.
