Glossary
- Application resource group
- Customer-controlled Azure resource group containing the Azure Managed Application resource.
- Azure Managed Application
- Azure Marketplace deployment model that creates an application resource together with a managed resource group containing the platform infrastructure.
- Capacity profile
- Initial platform sizing selection such as Small, Medium, or Large.
- Certificate signing request (CSR)
- Request generated by the managed platform and submitted to a certificate authority to obtain a TLS certificate. The platform retains the corresponding private key.
- Data stream
- Elasticsearch storage model commonly used for time-series data such as logs, metrics, and traces.
- Deployment reference
- Customer-facing identifier associated with a deployment and included in iVedha deployment notifications. Use it when requesting support or managed platform changes.
- Elastic Agent
- Elastic component used to collect telemetry, run integrations, and connect managed observability sources to Elasticsearch.
- Elastic connectors
- Elastic services that integrate supported external content sources or services with Elasticsearch workflows.
- Elasticsearch
- Distributed search, analytics, and data platform used for indexing, search, observability data, and vector or semantic-search workloads.
- Fleet
- Kibana-based management interface used to centrally manage Elastic Agents, agent policies, integrations, enrollment, and health.
- Fleet Server
- Service that coordinates communication between Fleet and enrolled Elastic Agents.
- Ingestion
- Process of sending data into Elasticsearch.
- Kibana
- Elastic browser interface for search, dashboards, observability, Fleet, security administration, and other supported Elastic features.
- Logstash
- Elastic data-processing service used for specialized ingestion, transformation, enrichment, and routing pipelines.
- Managed resource group
- Azure resource group containing the infrastructure operated as part of the Managed Application. Customers should not modify managed resources directly unless explicitly documented.
- OpenTelemetry (OTel)
- Open observability standard and ecosystem for producing and transmitting logs, metrics, and traces using common APIs, protocols, and semantic conventions.
- OpenTelemetry Collector
- Runtime component that receives, processes, enriches, and routes OpenTelemetry logs, metrics, and traces.
- OTLP
- OpenTelemetry Protocol used to transport telemetry between applications, collectors, agents, and observability backends.
- Private DNS
- DNS configuration that resolves service hostnames to private addresses for approved private networks.
- Private Endpoint
- Customer-owned Azure network interface that provides private connectivity to a supported service through a private IP address in a VNet.
- Private Link
- Azure private-connectivity technology used to access services without exposing the connection over the public internet.
- Private Link Service
- Service-side Azure resource to which a customer-created Private Endpoint connects. Use the deployment-provided resource information rather than reconstructing its resource ID.
- Public access
- Deployment configuration in which supported platform endpoints can be reached through public network paths, subject to TLS, authentication, and customer security controls.
- Search workload
- Platform use case focused primarily on indexing and querying application, document, knowledge, vector, or other search data.
- Observability workload
- Platform use case focused primarily on logs, metrics, traces, and operational analytics.
- Semantic conventions
- OpenTelemetry conventions that standardize the names and meaning of telemetry attributes and signals.
- Snapshot
- Elasticsearch backup stored in a configured snapshot repository and used for supported recovery workflows.
- Subject Alternative Name (SAN)
- Certificate field that identifies the hostnames for which a TLS certificate is valid.
The platform-generated CSR includes the required SANs for enabled deployment services such as Elasticsearch, Kibana, Fleet, and Logstash.
- TLS
- Transport Layer Security protocol used to encrypt connections and verify service identity using certificates.
- Topology
- Elasticsearch deployment layout describing how node roles and data tiers are organized.
- Your deployment is ready
- iVedha notification indicating that managed-platform readiness checks have completed successfully. This is the customer-facing readiness signal for starting post-deployment configuration.
