Term 302
A Lambda function is a piece of code that runs in the cloud without you having to manage any servers, and it only runs when you tell it to, saving you money and effort.
Term 303
A Lambda handler is the specific function in your code that AWS Lambda invokes to start processing an event, acting as the main entry point for your serverless application.
Term 304
A Lambda layer is a ZIP archive that contains libraries, custom runtimes, or other dependencies that you can use with your AWS Lambda functions.
Term 305
Lambda memory is the amount of RAM allocated to an AWS Lambda function, which also determines its CPU power and network throughput.
Term 306
Lambda timeout is the maximum amount of time a serverless function is allowed to run before it is forcibly terminated by the cloud provider.
Term 307
Latency routing is a DNS-based traffic management method that directs user requests to the server location which can provide the lowest network latency for that specific user.
Term 308
A Layer 2 switch is a network device that forwards data frames based on the MAC addresses found in the frame headers, operating within a single local area network segment.
Term 309
A network device that combines the high-speed switching of a Layer 2 switch with the routing capabilities of a router, allowing it to forward traffic based on both MAC and IP addresses.
Term 310
A dedicated, uncontended telecommunications circuit rented from a service provider that provides a fixed, symmetrical bandwidth connection between two locations.
Term 311
Lifecycle management is the process of overseeing data from its creation or capture through its use, maintenance, and eventual deletion or archiving.
Term 312
A load balancer is a device or software that distributes incoming network traffic across multiple servers so no single server gets overwhelmed.
Term 313
A local route is a routing table entry for a directly connected network interface IP address, created automatically when an IP address is assigned to that interface.
Term 314
Locally redundant storage (LRS) is a replication strategy that creates multiple synchronous copies of your data within a single data center in one region, protecting against local hardware failures.
Term 315
A Log Analytics workspace is a unique environment in Azure Monitor where log data from various sources is collected, stored, and queried for analysis and reporting.
Term 316
An LRS (Learning Record Store) is a system that collects, stores, and retrieves learning data from various training activities, often used to track progress in IT certification study programs.
Term 317
MAC (Media Access Control) is a unique hardware identifier assigned to network interfaces for communication on a local network segment.
Term 318
A MAC address is a unique hardware identifier assigned to a network interface card that allows devices to communicate on a local network.
Term 319
A MAC address table is a data structure stored in a network switch that maps each of its ports to the MAC addresses of connected devices, enabling the switch to forward frames only to the correct destination.
Term 320
MAC filtering is a security practice that allows or denies network access to devices based on their unique Media Access Control (MAC) address.
Term 321
A scheduled period during which IT systems can be taken offline for updates, patches, or repairs with minimal business disruption.
Term 322
Malware is any software intentionally designed to cause damage, disrupt operations, steal data, or gain unauthorized access to computer systems.
Term 323
Malware analysis is the process of examining malicious software to understand its behavior, origin, and impact, enabling defenders to detect, contain, and prevent future attacks.
Term 324
Malware symptoms are the observable signs on a computer or network that indicate a malicious program may have infected the system, such as slow performance, unexpected pop-ups, or unusual network activity.
Term 325
A managed disk is a cloud-based virtual hard drive that Azure automatically creates, manages, and scales for your virtual machines so you don't have to worry about storage infrastructure.
Term 326
A managed identity is an automatically managed service principal in Azure that allows your code to authenticate to any service that supports Azure AD authentication without storing credentials.
Term 327
A Management group is a container in Microsoft Azure that helps you organize and manage access, policies, and compliance across multiple Azure subscriptions.
Term 328
A Management VLAN is a dedicated virtual local area network used to secure and separate administrative access to network devices like switches and routers from regular user data traffic.
Term 329
A meeting policy is a set of rules and configurations that control how online meetings are created, joined, and conducted within a collaboration platform.
Term 330
A messaging policy is a set of rules that govern how an organization's email and instant messaging systems handle, route, secure, and retain messages to ensure compliance, security, and operational efficiency.
