ACU The concept of the Azure Compute Unit (ACU) provides a way of comparing compute (CPU) performance across Azure SKUs. This will help you easily identify which SKU is most likely to satisfy your performance needs. ACU is currently standardized on a Small (Standard_A1) VM being 100 and all other […]
The Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) is an open standard for passing business messages between applications or organizations. It connects systems, feeds business processes with the information they need and reliably transmits onward the instructions that achieve their goals. AMQP connects across: Organizations – applications in different organizations Technologies – applications […]
Authentication Authentication (from Greek: αὐθεντικός authentikos, “real, genuine”, from αὐθέντης authentes, “author”) is the act of proving an assertion, such as the identity of a computer system user. In contrast with identification, the act of indicating a person or thing’s identity, authentication is the process of verifying that identity. It […]

Definition of gRPC RPC is a modern, high-performance framework that evolves the age-old remote procedure call (RPC)protocol. At the application level, gRPC streamlines messaging between clients and back-end services.Originating from Google, gRPC is open source and part of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation(CNCF) ecosystem of cloud-native offerings. CNCF considers gRPC […]
HCI Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) is a software-defined IT infrastructure that virtualizes all of the elements of conventional “hardware-defined” systems. HCI includes, at a minimum, virtualized computing (a hypervisor), software-defined storage or SDS, and virtualized networking (software-defined networking or SDN). HCI typically runs on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) servers. The primary difference […]
IaaS stands for Infrastructure As A Service. This term covers a wide range of cloud services related to compute power, including but not limited to virtual machines, containers and services for compute intensive workloads.
