-> To use Vision enhancement, you need a Computer Vision resource. It must be in the paid (S0) tier and in the same Azure region as your GPT-4 Turbo with Vision resource.

-Additionally, if you use video prompt integration with the Video Retrieval add-on, it accrues other costs:

-Processing videos involves the use of extra tokens to identify key frames for analysis. The number of these additional tokens will be roughly equivalent to the sum of the tokens in the text input, plus 700 tokens.

-The selected channel determines the timing of upgrades. When making changes to node OS auto-upgrade channels, allow up to 24 hours for the changes to take effect.

-The AKS-managed Microsoft Entra integration simplifies the Microsoft Entra integration process. Previously, you were required to create a client and server app, and the Microsoft Entra tenant had to grant Directory Read permissions. Now, the AKS resource provider manages the client and server apps for you.

-This article shares different upgrade options for AKS clusters. To perform a basic Kubernetes version upgrade, see [Upgrade an AKS cluster](./upgrade-aks-cluster.md).

-AKS uses best-effort zone balancing in node groups. During an upgrade surge, the zones for the surge nodes in Virtual Machine Scale Sets are unknown ahead of time, which can temporarily cause an unbalanced zone configuration during an upgrade. However, AKS deletes surge nodes once the upgrade completes and preserves the original zone balance. If you want to keep your zones balanced during upgrades, you can increase the surge to a multiple of *three nodes*, and Virtual Machine Scale Sets balances your nodes across availability zones with best-effort zone balancing.

- > [!NOTE]

- > To use node soak duration (preview), you must have the aks-preview Azure CLI extension version 0.5.173 or later installed.

-Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters require an identity to access Azure resources like load balancers and managed disks. This identity can be a *managed identity* or *service principal*. A system-assigned managed identity is automatically created when you create an AKS cluster. This identity is managed by the Azure platform and doesn't require you to provision or rotate any secrets. For more information about managed identities in Microsoft Entra ID, see [Managed identities for Azure resources][managed-identity-resources-overview].

-AKS doesn't automatically create a [service principal](kubernetes-service-principal.md), so you have to create one. Clusters that use a service principal eventually expire, and the service principal must be renewed to avoid impacting cluster authentication with the identity. Managing service principals adds complexity, so it's easier to use managed identities instead. The same permission requirements apply for both service principals and managed identities. Managed identities use certificate-based authentication. Each managed identity's credentials have an expiration of *90 days* and are rolled after *45 days*. AKS uses both system-assigned and user-assigned managed identity types, and these identities are immutable.

-description: In this article, you learn how to connect machines to Azure using Azure Arc-enabled servers using Windows PowerShell DSC.

-# How to install the Connected Machine agent using Windows PowerShell DSC

-Using [Windows PowerShell Desired State Configuration](/powershell/dsc/getting-started/winGettingStarted) (DSC), you can automate software installation and configuration for a Windows computer. This article describes how to use DSC to install the Azure Connected Machine agent on hybrid Windows machines.

->[!NOTE]

-> The PowerShell module described in this article is not currently supported by Microsoft. Any changes or improvements are only handled as a best-effort by the community.

->

-## Requirements

-## Install the ConnectedMachine DSC module

-1. To manually install the module, download the source code from GitHub. Save the content to the

-`$env:ProgramFiles\WindowsPowerShell\Modules folder`.

- ```powershell

- git clone https://github.com/azure/AzureConnectedMachineDsc

- ```

-2. To confirm installation, run the following command and ensure you see the Azure Connected Machine DSC resources available.

- ```powershell

- Get-DscResource -Module AzureConnectedMachineDsc

- ```

- In the output, you should see something similar to the following:

- 

-## Install the agent and connect to Azure

-The resources in this module are designed to manage the Azure Connected Machine agent configuration. Also included is a PowerShell script `AzureConnectedMachineAgent.ps1`, found in the `AzureConnectedMachineDsc\examples` folder. It uses community resources to automate the download and installation, and establish a connection with Azure Arc. This script performs similar steps described in the [Connect hybrid machines to Azure from the Azure portal](onboard-portal.md) article.

-If the machine needs to communicate through a proxy server to the service, after you install the agent you need to run a command that's described [here](manage-agent.md#update-or-remove-proxy-settings). This sets the proxy server system environment variable `https_proxy`. Instead of running the command manually, you can perform this step with DSC by using the [ComputeManagementDsc](https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/ComputerManagementDsc) module. Using this configuration, the agent communicates through the proxy server using the HTTP protocol.

->[!NOTE]

->To allow DSC to run, Windows needs to be configured to receive PowerShell remote commands even when you're running a localhost configuration. To easily configure your environment correctly, just run `Set-WsManQuickConfig -Force` in an elevated PowerShell Terminal.

->

-Configuration documents (MOF files) can be applied to the machine using the `Start-DscConfiguration` cmdlet.

-The following are the parameters you pass to the PowerShell script to use.

-1. In a PowerShell console, navigate to the folder where you saved the `.ps1` file.

-2. Run the following PowerShell commands to compile the MOF document (for information about compiling DSC configurations, see [DSC Configurations](/powershell/dsc/configurations/configurations):

- ```powershell

- .\`AzureConnectedMachineAgent.ps1 -TenantId <TenantId GUID> -SubscriptionId <SubscriptionId GUID> -ResourceGroup '<ResourceGroupName>' -Location '<LocationName>' -Tags '<Tag>' -Credential <psCredential>

- ```

-3. This will create a `localhost.mof file` in a new folder named `C:\dsc`.

-After you install the agent and configure it to connect to Azure Arc-enabled servers, go to the Azure portal to verify that the server has been successfully connected. View your machines in the [Azure portal](https://aka.ms/hybridmachineportal).

-## Adding to existing configurations

-This resource can be added to existing DSC configurations to represent an end-to-end configuration for a machine. For example, you might wish to add this resource to a configuration that sets secure operating system settings.

-The [CompositeResource](https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/compositeresource) module from the PowerShell Gallery can be used to create a [composite resource](/powershell/dsc/resources/authoringResourceComposite) of the example configuration, to further simplify combining configurations.

-## Next steps

-* Troubleshooting information can be found in the [Troubleshoot Connected Machine agent guide](troubleshoot-agent-onboard.md).

-* Review the [Planning and deployment guide](plan-at-scale-deployment.md) to plan for deploying Azure Arc-enabled servers at any scale and implement centralized management and monitoring.

-* Learn how to manage your machine using [Azure Policy](../../governance/policy/overview.md), for such things as VM [guest configuration](../../governance/machine-configuration/overview.md), verifying the machine is reporting to the expected Log Analytics workspace, enable monitoring with [VM insights](../../azure-monitor/vm/vminsights-enable-policy.md), and much more.

- - The number of get operations from the cache during the specified reporting interval. This value is the sum of the following values from the Redis INFO all command: `cmdstat_get`, `cmdstat_hget`, `cmdstat_hgetall`, `cmdstat_hmget`, `cmdstat_mget`, `cmdstat_getbit`, and `cmdstat_getrange`, and is equivalent to the sum of cache hits and misses during the reporting interval.

- - The number of set operations to the cache during the specified reporting interval. This value is the sum of the following values from the Redis INFO all command: `cmdstat_set`, `cmdstat_hset`, `cmdstat_hmset`, `cmdstat_hsetnx`, `cmdstat_lset`, `cmdstat_mset`, `cmdstat_msetnx`, `cmdstat_setbit`, `cmdstat_setex`, `cmdstat_setrange`, and `cmdstat_setnx`.

- - The percent of total memory that is being used during the specified reporting interval. This value references the `used_memory` value from the Redis INFO command to calculate the percentage. This value doesn't include fragmentation.

-For more information on correlation, see [Telemetry correlation in Application Insights](distributed-tracing-telemetry-correlation.md).

-* To learn more about how correlation works in Application Insights, see [Telemetry correlation](distributed-tracing-telemetry-correlation.md).

-An operation is a logical piece of work run by an application. It has a name, start time, duration, result, and a context of execution like user name, properties, and result. If operation A was initiated by operation B, then operation B is set as a parent for A. An operation can have only one parent, but it can have many child operations. For more information on operations and telemetry correlation, see [Application Insights telemetry correlation](distributed-tracing-telemetry-correlation.md).

- An *operation* is made up of the threads of execution that process a request. You can also [write code](./api-custom-events-metrics.md#trackrequest) to monitor other types of operation, such as a "wake up" in a web job or function that periodically processes data. Each operation has an ID. The ID can be used to [group](distributed-tracing-telemetry-correlation.md) all telemetry generated while your app is processing the request. Each operation either succeeds or fails and has a duration of time.

-The Application Insights telemetry model defines a way to [correlate](distributed-tracing-telemetry-correlation.md) telemetry to the operation of which it's a part. For example, a request can make a SQL Database call and record diagnostics information. You can set the correlation context for those telemetry items that tie it back to the request telemetry.

-ID is the identifier of a request call instance. It's used for correlation between the request and other telemetry items. The ID should be globally unique. For more information, see [Telemetry correlation in Application Insights](distributed-tracing-telemetry-correlation.md).

-Source is the source of the request. Examples are the instrumentation key of the caller or the IP address of the caller. For more information, see [Telemetry correlation in Application Insights](distributed-tracing-telemetry-correlation.md).

-ID is the identifier of a dependency call instance. It's used for correlation with the request telemetry item that corresponds to this dependency call. For more information, see [Telemetry correlation in Application Insights](distributed-tracing-telemetry-correlation.md).

-This field is the target site of a dependency call. Examples are server name and host address. For more information, see [Telemetry correlation in Application Insights](distributed-tracing-telemetry-correlation.md).

-This field is the unique identifier of the root operation. This identifier allows grouping telemetry across multiple components. For more information, see [Telemetry correlation](distributed-tracing-telemetry-correlation.md). Either a request or a page view creates the operation ID. All other telemetry sets this field to the value for the containing request or page view.

-This field is the unique identifier of the telemetry item's immediate parent. For more information, see [Telemetry correlation](distributed-tracing-telemetry-correlation.md).

-> [!NOTE]

-

-1. Provide the desired credential class:

-

-

-

-

-Add `UseAzureMonitor()` to your application startup. Depending on your version of .NET, it is in either your `startup.cs` or `program.cs` class.

-// Add the OpenTelemetry NuGet package to the application's services and configure OpenTelemetry to use Azure Monitor.

-

- > If you set the connection string in more than one place, we adhere to the following precendence:

- The target rate of [logical operations](distributed-tracing-telemetry-correlation.md#data-model-for-telemetry-correlation) that the adaptive algorithm aims to collect **on each server host**. If your web app runs on many hosts, reduce this value so as to remain within your target rate of traffic at the Application Insights portal.

-The transaction diagnostics experience shows all telemetry in a [single operation](distributed-tracing-telemetry-correlation.md#data-model-for-telemetry-correlation) that shares an [Operation ID](data-model-complete.md#operation-id). By default, the Application Insights SDK for JavaScript creates a new operation for each unique page view. In a single-page application (SPA), only one page view event is generated and a single Operation ID is used for all telemetry generated. As a result, many events might be correlated to the same operation.

-This custom operation of `RequestTelemetry` can be thought of as the equivalent of an incoming web request in a typical web application. It isn't necessary to use an operation, but it fits best with the [Application Insights correlation data model](distributed-tracing-telemetry-correlation.md). `RequestTelemetry` acts as the parent operation and every telemetry generated inside the worker iteration is treated as logically belonging to the same operation.

-Distributed tracing in Azure Monitor is enabled with the [Application Insights SDK](app/distributed-tracing-telemetry-correlation.md). Trace data is stored with other application log data collected by Application Insights. This way it's available to the same analysis tools as other log data including log queries, dashboards, and alerts.

-description: Learn how read and write Azure Cosmos DB system document properties via API for Gremlin

-# System document properties

-Azure Cosmos DB has [system properties](/rest/api/cosmos-db/databases) such as ```_ts```, ```_self```, ```_attachments```, ```_rid```, and ```_etag``` on every document. Additionally, Gremlin engine adds ```inVPartition``` and ```outVPartition``` properties on edges. By default, these properties are available for traversal. However, it's possible to include specific properties, or all of them, in Gremlin traversal.

-```console

-This property is used for optimistic concurrency control. If application needs to break operation into a few separate traversals, it can use eTag property to avoid data loss in concurrent writes.

-```console

-If collection has document expiration enabled and documents have `ttl` property set on them, then this property will be available in Gremlin traversal as a regular vertex or edge property. `ProjectionStrategy` isn't necessary to enable time-to-live property exposure.

-* Use the following command to set time-to-live on a new vertex:

- ```console

- g.addV(<ID>).property('ttl', <expirationTime>)

- ```

- For example, a vertex created with the following traversal is automatically deleted after *123 seconds*:

- ```console

- g.addV('vertex-one').property('ttl', 123)

- ```

-* Use the following command to set time-to-live on an existing vertex:

- ```console

- g.V().hasId(<ID>).has('pk', <pk>).property('ttl', <expirationTime>)

- ```

-* Applying time-to-live property on vertices does not automatically apply it to edges. Because edges are independent records in the database store. Use the following command to set time-to-live on vertices and all the incoming and outgoing edges of the vertex:

- ```console

- g.V().hasId(<ID>).has('pk', <pk>).as('v').bothE().hasNot('ttl').property('ttl', <expirationTime>)

- ```

-You can set TTL on the container to -1 or set it to **On (no default)** from Azure portal, then the TTL is infinite for any item unless the item has TTL value explicitly set.

-## Next steps

-* [Azure Cosmos DB Optimistic Concurrency](../faq.yml#how-does-the-api-for-nosql-provide-concurrency-)

-* [Time to Live (TTL)](../time-to-live.md) in Azure Cosmos DB

->

-* To ensure high write and read availability, configure your Azure Cosmos DB account to span at least two regions (or three, if you're using strong consistency). Remember that the best configuration to achieve high availability for a region outage is a single write region with service-managed failover. To learn more, see [Tutorial: Set up Azure Cosmos DB global distribution using the API for NoSQL](nosql/tutorial-global-distribution.md).

-When Microsoft Entra ID authentication is enabled and Microsoft Entra ID principal is added as a Microsoft Entra ID administrator, the account gets the same privileges as [the `citus` role](#the-citus-role). The Microsoft Entra ID administrator sign-in can be a Microsoft Entra ID user, Service Principal or Managed Identity. Multiple Microsoft Entra ID administrators can be configured at any time and you can optionally disable PostgreSQL (password) authentication to the Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL cluster for better auditing and compliance needs.

-Additionally, any number of non-admin Microsoft Entra ID roles can be added to a cluster at any time once Microsoft Entra ID authentication is enabled. Database permissions for non-admin Microsoft Entra ID roles are managed similar to regular roles.

-description: Store structured data in the cloud using Azure Table storage or the Azure Cosmos DB for Table from PHP.

-# How to use Azure Storage Table service or the Azure Cosmos DB for Table from PHP

-> [!WARNING]

-> This project is in the [community support](https://azure.github.io/azure-sdk/policies_support.html#package-lifecycle) stage of it's lifecycle. Eventually, all associated client libraries will be retired permanently. For more details on the retirement and alternatives to using this project, see [Retirement notice: Azure Storage PHP client libraries](https://azure.microsoft.com/updates/retirement-notice-the-azure-storage-php-client-libraries-will-be-retired-on-17-march-2024/).

-This article shows you how to create tables, store your data, and perform CRUD operations on the data. Choose either the Azure Table service or the Azure Cosmos DB for Table. The samples are written in PHP and use the [Azure Storage Table PHP Client Library][download]. The scenarios covered include **creating and deleting a table**, and **inserting, deleting, and querying entities in a table**. For more information on the Azure Table service, see the [Next steps](#next-steps) section.

-## Create an Azure service account

-**Create an Azure storage account**

-**Create an Azure Cosmos DB for Table account**

-## Create a PHP application

-The only requirement to create a PHP application to access the Storage Table service or Azure Cosmos DB for Table is to reference classes in the azure-storage-table SDK for PHP from within your code. You can use any development tools to create your application, including Notepad.

-In this guide, you use Storage Table service or Azure Cosmos DB features that can be called from within a PHP application locally, or in code running within an Azure web role, worker role, or website.

-## Get the client library

-1. Create a file named composer.json in the root of your project and add the following code to it:

- ```json

- {

- "require": {

- "microsoft/azure-storage-table": "*"

- }

- }

- ```

-2. Download [composer.phar](https://getcomposer.org/composer.phar) in your root.

-3. Open a command prompt and execute the following command in your project root:

- ```

- php composer.phar install

- ```

- Alternatively, go to the [Azure Storage Table PHP Client Library](https://github.com/Azure/azure-storage-php/tree/master/azure-storage-table) on GitHub to clone the source code.

-## Add required references

-To use the Storage Table service or Azure Cosmos DB APIs, you must:

-* Reference the autoloader file using the [require_once][require_once] statement, and

-* Reference any classes you use.

-The following example shows how to include the autoloader file and reference the **TableRestProxy** class.

-```php

-require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

-use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Table\TableRestProxy;

-```

-In the examples below, the `require_once` statement is always shown, but only the classes necessary for the example to execute are referenced.

-## Add your connection string

-You can either connect to the Azure storage account or the Azure Cosmos DB for Table account. Get the connection string based on the type of account you are using.

-### Add a Storage Table service connection

-To instantiate a Storage Table service client, you must first have a valid connection string. The format for the Storage Table service connection string is:

-```php

-$connectionString = "DefaultEndpointsProtocol=[http|https];AccountName=[yourAccount];AccountKey=[yourKey]"

-```

-### Add a Storage Emulator connection

-To access the emulator storage:

-```php

-UseDevelopmentStorage = true

-```

-### Add an Azure Cosmos DB connection

-To instantiate an Azure Cosmos DB Table client, you must first have a valid connection string. The format for the Azure Cosmos DB connection string is:

-```php

-$connectionString = "DefaultEndpointsProtocol=[https];AccountName=[myaccount];AccountKey=[myaccountkey];TableEndpoint=[https://myendpoint/]";

-```

-To create an Azure Table service client or Azure Cosmos DB client, you need to use the **TableRestProxy** class. You can:

-* Pass the connection string directly to it or

-* Use the **CloudConfigurationManager (CCM)** to check multiple external sources for the connection string:

- * By default, it comes with support for one external source - environmental variables.

- * You can add new sources by extending the `ConnectionStringSource` class.

-For the examples outlined here, the connection string is passed directly.

-```php

-require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

-use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Table\TableRestProxy;

-$tableClient = TableRestProxy::createTableService($connectionString);

-```

-## Create a table

-A **TableRestProxy** object lets you create a table with the **createTable** method. When creating a table, you can set the Table service timeout. (For more information about the Table service timeout, see [Setting Timeouts for Table Service Operations][table-service-timeouts].)

-```php

-require_once 'vendor\autoload.php';

-use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Table\TableRestProxy;

-use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Common\Exceptions\ServiceException;

-// Create Table REST proxy.

-$tableClient = TableRestProxy::createTableService($connectionString);

-try {

- // Create table.

- $tableClient->createTable("mytable");

-}

-catch(ServiceException $e){

- $code = $e->getCode();

- $error_message = $e->getMessage();

- // Handle exception based on error codes and messages.

- // Error codes and messages can be found here:

- // https://learn.microsoft.com/rest/api/storageservices/Table-Service-Error-Codes

-}

-```

-For information about restrictions on table names, see [Understanding the Table Service Data Model][table-data-model].

-## Add an entity to a table

-To add an entity to a table, create a new **Entity** object and pass it to **TableRestProxy->insertEntity**. Note that when you create an entity, you must specify a `PartitionKey` and `RowKey`. These are the unique identifiers for an entity and are values that can be queried much faster than other entity properties. The system uses `PartitionKey` to automatically distribute the table's entities over many Storage nodes. Entities with the same `PartitionKey` are stored on the same node. (Operations on multiple entities stored on the same node perform better than on entities stored across different nodes.) The `RowKey` is the unique ID of an entity within a partition.

-```php

-require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

-use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Table\TableRestProxy;

-use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Common\Exceptions\ServiceException;

-use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Table\Models\Entity;

-use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Table\Models\EdmType;

-// Create table REST proxy.

-$tableClient = TableRestProxy::createTableService($connectionString);

-$entity = new Entity();

-$entity->setPartitionKey("tasksSeattle");

-$entity->setRowKey("1");

-$entity->addProperty("Description", null, "Take out the trash.");

-$entity->addProperty("DueDate",

- EdmType::DATETIME,

- new DateTime("2012-11-05T08:15:00-08:00"));

-$entity->addProperty("Location", EdmType::STRING, "Home");

-try{

- $tableClient->insertEntity("mytable", $entity);

-}

-catch(ServiceException $e){

- // Handle exception based on error codes and messages.

- // Error codes and messages are here:

- // https://learn.microsoft.com/rest/api/storageservices/Table-Service-Error-Codes

- $code = $e->getCode();

- $error_message = $e->getMessage();

-}

-```

-For information about Table properties and types, see [Understanding the Table Service Data Model][table-data-model].

-The **TableRestProxy** class offers two alternative methods for inserting entities: **insertOrMergeEntity** and **insertOrReplaceEntity**. To use these methods, create a new **Entity** and pass it as a parameter to either method. Each method will insert the entity if it does not exist. If the entity already exists, **insertOrMergeEntity** updates property values if the properties already exist and adds new properties if they do not exist, while **insertOrReplaceEntity** completely replaces an existing entity. The following example shows how to use **insertOrMergeEntity**. If the entity with `PartitionKey` "tasksSeattle" and `RowKey` "1" does not already exist, it will be inserted. However, if it has previously been inserted (as shown in the example above), the `DueDate` property is updated, and the `Status` property is added. The `Description` and `Location` properties are also updated, but with values that effectively leave them unchanged. If these latter two properties were not added as shown in the example, but existed on the target entity, their existing values would remain unchanged.

-```php

-require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

-use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Table\TableRestProxy;

-use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Common\Exceptions\ServiceException;

-use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Table\Models\Entity;

-use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Table\Models\EdmType;

-// Create table REST proxy.

-$tableClient = TableRestProxy::createTableService($connectionString);

-//Create new entity.

-$entity = new Entity();

-// PartitionKey and RowKey are required.

-$entity->setPartitionKey("tasksSeattle");

-$entity->setRowKey("1");

-// If entity exists, existing properties are updated with new values and

-// new properties are added. Missing properties are unchanged.

-$entity->addProperty("Description", null, "Take out the trash.");

-$entity->addProperty("DueDate", EdmType::DATETIME, new DateTime()); // Modified the DueDate field.

-$entity->addProperty("Location", EdmType::STRING, "Home");

-$entity->addProperty("Status", EdmType::STRING, "Complete"); // Added Status field.

-try {

- // Calling insertOrReplaceEntity, instead of insertOrMergeEntity as shown,

- // would simply replace the entity with PartitionKey "tasksSeattle" and RowKey "1".

- $tableClient->insertOrMergeEntity("mytable", $entity);

-}

-catch(ServiceException $e){

- // Handle exception based on error codes and messages.

- // Error codes and messages are here:

- // https://learn.microsoft.com/rest/api/storageservices/Table-Service-Error-Codes

- $code = $e->getCode();

- $error_message = $e->getMessage();

- echo $code.": ".$error_message."<br />";

-}

-```

-## Retrieve a single entity

-The **TableRestProxy->getEntity** method allows you to retrieve a single entity by querying for its `PartitionKey` and `RowKey`. In the example below, the partition key `tasksSeattle` and row key `1` are passed to the **getEntity** method.

-```php

-require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

-use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Table\TableRestProxy;

-use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Common\Exceptions\ServiceException;

-// Create table REST proxy.

-$tableClient = TableRestProxy::createTableService($connectionString);

-try {

- $result = $tableClient->getEntity("mytable", "tasksSeattle", 1);

-}

-catch(ServiceException $e){

- // Handle exception based on error codes and messages.

- // Error codes and messages are here:

- // https://learn.microsoft.com/rest/api/storageservices/Table-Service-Error-Codes

- $code = $e->getCode();

- $error_message = $e->getMessage();

- echo $code.": ".$error_message."<br />";

-}

-$entity = $result->getEntity();

-echo $entity->getPartitionKey().":".$entity->getRowKey();

-```

-## Retrieve all entities in a partition

-Entity queries are constructed using filters (for more information, see [Querying Tables and Entities][filters]). To retrieve all entities in partition, use the filter "PartitionKey eq *partition_name*". The following example shows how to retrieve all entities in the `tasksSeattle` partition by passing a filter to the **queryEntities** method.

-```php

-require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

-use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Table\TableRestProxy;

-use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Common\Exceptions\ServiceException;

-// Create table REST proxy.

-$tableClient = TableRestProxy::createTableService($connectionString);

-$filter = "PartitionKey eq 'tasksSeattle'";

-try {

- $result = $tableClient->queryEntities("mytable", $filter);

-}

-catch(ServiceException $e){

- // Handle exception based on error codes and messages.

- // Error codes and messages are here:

- // https://learn.microsoft.com/rest/api/storageservices/Table-Service-Error-Codes

- $code = $e->getCode();

- $error_message = $e->getMessage();

- echo $code.": ".$error_message."<br />";

-}

-$entities = $result->getEntities();

-foreach($entities as $entity){

- echo $entity->getPartitionKey().":".$entity->getRowKey()."<br />";

-}

-```

-## Retrieve a subset of entities in a partition

-The same pattern used in the previous example can be used to retrieve any subset of entities in a partition. The subset of entities you retrieve are determined by the filter you use (for more information, see [Querying Tables and Entities][filters]).The following example shows how to use a filter to retrieve all entities with a specific `Location` and a `DueDate` less than a specified date.

-```php

-require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

-use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Table\TableRestProxy;

-use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Common\Exceptions\ServiceException;

-// Create table REST proxy.

-$tableClient = TableRestProxy::createTableService($connectionString);

-$filter = "Location eq 'Office' and DueDate lt '2012-11-5'";

-try {

- $result = $tableClient->queryEntities("mytable", $filter);

-}

-catch(ServiceException $e){

- // Handle exception based on error codes and messages.

- // Error codes and messages are here:

- // https://learn.microsoft.com/rest/api/storageservices/Table-Service-Error-Codes

- $code = $e->getCode();

- $error_message = $e->getMessage();

- echo $code.": ".$error_message."<br />";

-}

-$entities = $result->getEntities();

-foreach($entities as $entity){

- echo $entity->getPartitionKey().":".$entity->getRowKey()."<br />";

-}

-```

-## Retrieve a subset of entity properties

-A query can retrieve a subset of entity properties. This technique, called *projection*, reduces bandwidth and can improve query performance, especially for large entities. To specify a property to retrieve, pass the name of the property to the **Query->addSelectField** method. You can call this method multiple times to add more properties. After executing **TableRestProxy->queryEntities**, the returned entities will only have the selected properties. (If you want to return a subset of Table entities, use a filter as shown in the queries above.)

-```php

-require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

-use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Table\TableRestProxy;

-use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Common\Exceptions\ServiceException;

-use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Table\Models\QueryEntitiesOptions;

-// Create table REST proxy.

-$tableClient = TableRestProxy::createTableService($connectionString);

-$options = new QueryEntitiesOptions();

-$options->addSelectField("Description");

-try {

- $result = $tableClient->queryEntities("mytable", $options);

-}

-catch(ServiceException $e){

- // Handle exception based on error codes and messages.

- // Error codes and messages are here:

- // https://learn.microsoft.com/rest/api/storageservices/Table-Service-Error-Codes

- $code = $e->getCode();

- $error_message = $e->getMessage();

- echo $code.": ".$error_message."<br />";

-}

-// All entities in the table are returned, regardless of whether

-// they have the Description field.

-// To limit the results returned, use a filter.

-$entities = $result->getEntities();

-foreach($entities as $entity){

- $description = $entity->getProperty("Description")->getValue();

- echo $description."<br />";

-}

-```

-## Update an entity

-You can update an existing entity by using the **Entity->setProperty** and **Entity->addProperty** methods on the entity, and then calling **TableRestProxy->updateEntity**. The following example retrieves an entity, modifies one property, removes another property, and adds a new property. Note that you can remove a property by setting its value to **null**.

-```php

-require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

-use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Table\TableRestProxy;

-use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Common\Exceptions\ServiceException;

-use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Table\Models\Entity;

-use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Table\Models\EdmType;

-// Create table REST proxy.

-$tableClient = TableRestProxy::createTableService($connectionString);

-$result = $tableClient->getEntity("mytable", "tasksSeattle", 1);

-$entity = $result->getEntity();

-$entity->setPropertyValue("DueDate", new DateTime()); //Modified DueDate.

-$entity->setPropertyValue("Location", null); //Removed Location.

-$entity->addProperty("Status", EdmType::STRING, "In progress"); //Added Status.

-try {

- $tableClient->updateEntity("mytable", $entity);

-}

-catch(ServiceException $e){

- // Handle exception based on error codes and messages.

- // Error codes and messages are here:

- // https://learn.microsoft.com/rest/api/storageservices/Table-Service-Error-Codes

- $code = $e->getCode();

- $error_message = $e->getMessage();

- echo $code.": ".$error_message."<br />";

-}

-```

-## Delete an entity

-To delete an entity, pass the table name, and the entity's `PartitionKey` and `RowKey` to the **TableRestProxy->deleteEntity** method.

-```php

-require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

-use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Table\TableRestProxy;

-use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Common\Exceptions\ServiceException;

-// Create table REST proxy.

-$tableClient = TableRestProxy::createTableService($connectionString);

-try {

- // Delete entity.

- $tableClient->deleteEntity("mytable", "tasksSeattle", "2");

-}

-catch(ServiceException $e){

- // Handle exception based on error codes and messages.

- // Error codes and messages are here:

- // https://learn.microsoft.com/rest/api/storageservices/Table-Service-Error-Codes

- $code = $e->getCode();

- $error_message = $e->getMessage();

- echo $code.": ".$error_message."<br />";

-}

-```

-For concurrency checks, you can set the Etag for an entity to be deleted by using the **DeleteEntityOptions->setEtag** method and passing the **DeleteEntityOptions** object to **deleteEntity** as a fourth parameter.

-## Batch table operations

-The **TableRestProxy->batch** method allows you to execute multiple operations in a single request. The pattern here involves adding operations to **BatchRequest** object and then passing the **BatchRequest** object to the **TableRestProxy->batch** method. To add an operation to a **BatchRequest** object, you can call any of the following methods multiple times:

-* **addInsertEntity** (adds an insertEntity operation)

-* **addUpdateEntity** (adds an updateEntity operation)

-* **addMergeEntity** (adds a mergeEntity operation)

-* **addInsertOrReplaceEntity** (adds an insertOrReplaceEntity operation)

-* **addInsertOrMergeEntity** (adds an insertOrMergeEntity operation)

-* **addDeleteEntity** (adds a deleteEntity operation)

-The following example shows how to execute **insertEntity** and **deleteEntity** operations in a single request.

-```php

-require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

-use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Table\TableRestProxy;

-use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Common\Exceptions\ServiceException;

-use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Table\Models\Entity;

-use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Table\Models\EdmType;

-use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Table\Models\BatchOperations;

-// Configure a connection string for Storage Table service.

-$connectionString = "DefaultEndpointsProtocol=[http|https];AccountName=[yourAccount];AccountKey=[yourKey]"

-// Create table REST proxy.

-$tableClient = TableRestProxy::createTableService($connectionString);

-// Create list of batch operation.

-$operations = new BatchOperations();

-$entity1 = new Entity();

-$entity1->setPartitionKey("tasksSeattle");

-$entity1->setRowKey("2");

-$entity1->addProperty("Description", null, "Clean roof gutters.");

-$entity1->addProperty("DueDate",

- EdmType::DATETIME,

- new DateTime("2012-11-05T08:15:00-08:00"));

-$entity1->addProperty("Location", EdmType::STRING, "Home");

-// Add operation to list of batch operations.

-$operations->addInsertEntity("mytable", $entity1);

-// Add operation to list of batch operations.

-$operations->addDeleteEntity("mytable", "tasksSeattle", "1");

-try {

- $tableClient->batch($operations);

-}

-catch(ServiceException $e){

- // Handle exception based on error codes and messages.

- // Error codes and messages are here:

- // https://learn.microsoft.com/rest/api/storageservices/Table-Service-Error-Codes

- $code = $e->getCode();

- $error_message = $e->getMessage();

- echo $code.": ".$error_message."<br />";

-}

-```

-For more information about batching Table operations, see [Performing Entity Group Transactions][entity-group-transactions].

-## Delete a table

-Finally, to delete a table, pass the table name to the **TableRestProxy->deleteTable** method.

-```php

-require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

-use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Table\TableRestProxy;

-# How to use Azure Table Storage and the Azure Cosmos DB for Table with Ruby

-> [!WARNING]

-> This project is in the [community support](https://azure.github.io/azure-sdk/policies_support.html#package-lifecycle) stage of it's lifecycle. Eventually, all associated client libraries will be retired permanently. For more details on the retirement and alternatives to using this project, see [Retirement notice: Azure Storage PHP client libraries](https://azure.microsoft.com/updates/retirement-notice-the-azure-storage-ruby-client-libraries-will-be-retired-on-13-september-2024/).

-This article shows you how to create tables, store your data, and perform CRUD operations on the data. Choose either the Azure Table service or the Azure Cosmos DB for Table. The samples described in this article are written in Ruby and uses the [Azure Storage Table Client Library for Ruby](https://github.com/azure/azure-storage-ruby/tree/master/table). The scenarios covered include create a table, delete a table, insert entities, and query entities from the table.

-## Create an Azure service account

-**Create an Azure storage account**

-**Create an Azure Cosmos DB account**

-## Add access to Azure storage or Azure Cosmos DB

-To use Azure Storage or Azure Cosmos DB, you must download and use the Ruby Azure package that includes a set of convenience libraries that communicate with the Table REST services.

-### Use RubyGems to obtain the package

-1. Use a command-line interface such as **PowerShell** (Windows), **Terminal** (Mac), or **Bash** (Unix).

-2. Type **gem install azure-storage-table** in the command window to install the gem and dependencies.

-### Import the package

-Use your favorite text editor, add the following to the top of the Ruby file where you intend to use Storage:

-```ruby

-require "azure/storage/table"

-```

-## Add your connection string

-You can either connect to the Azure storage account or the Azure Cosmos DB for Table account. Get the connection string based on the type of account you are using.

-### Add an Azure Storage connection

-The Azure Storage module reads the environment variables **AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT** and **AZURE_STORAGE_ACCESS_KEY** for information required to connect to your Azure Storage account. If these environment variables are not set, you must specify the account information before using **Azure::Storage::Table::TableService** with the following code:

-```ruby

-Azure.config.storage_account_name = "<your Azure Storage account>"

-Azure.config.storage_access_key = "<your Azure Storage access key>"

-```

-To obtain these values from a classic or Resource Manager storage account in the Azure portal:

-1. Log in to the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com).

-2. Navigate to the Storage account you want to use.

-3. In the Settings blade on the right, click **Access Keys**.

-4. In the Access keys blade that appears, you'll see the access key 1 and access key 2. You can use either of these.

-5. Click the copy icon to copy the key to the clipboard.

-### Add an Azure Cosmos DB connection

-To connect to Azure Cosmos DB, copy your primary connection string from the Azure portal, and create a **Client** object using your copied connection string. You can pass the **Client** object when you create a **TableService** object:

-```ruby

-common_client = Azure::Storage::Common::Client.create(storage_account_name:'myaccount', storage_access_key:'mykey', storage_table_host:'mycosmosdb_endpoint')

-table_client = Azure::Storage::Table::TableService.new(client: common_client)

-```

-## Create a table

-The **Azure::Storage::Table::TableService** object lets you work with tables and entities. To create a table, use the **create_table()** method. The following example creates a table or prints the error if there is any.

-```ruby

-azure_table_service = Azure::Storage::Table::TableService.new

-begin

- azure_table_service.create_table("testtable")

-rescue

- puts $!

-end

-```

-## Add an entity to a table

-To add an entity, first create a hash object that defines your entity properties. Note that for every entity you must specify a **PartitionKey** and **RowKey**. These are the unique identifiers of your entities, and are values that can be queried much faster than your other properties. Azure Storage uses **PartitionKey** to automatically distribute the table's entities over many storage nodes. Entities with the same **PartitionKey** are stored on the same node. The **RowKey** is the unique ID of the entity within the partition it belongs to.

-```ruby

-entity = { "content" => "test entity",

- :PartitionKey => "test-partition-key", :RowKey => "1" }

-azure_table_service.insert_entity("testtable", entity)

-```

-## Update an entity

-There are multiple methods available to update an existing entity:

-* **update_entity():** Update an existing entity by replacing it.

-* **merge_entity():** Updates an existing entity by merging new property values into the existing entity.

-* **insert_or_merge_entity():** Updates an existing entity by replacing it. If no entity exists, a new one will be inserted:

-* **insert_or_replace_entity():** Updates an existing entity by merging new property values into the existing entity. If no entity exists, a new one will be inserted.

-The following example demonstrates updating an entity using **update_entity()**:

-```ruby

-entity = { "content" => "test entity with updated content",

- :PartitionKey => "test-partition-key", :RowKey => "1" }

-azure_table_service.update_entity("testtable", entity)

-```

-With **update_entity()** and **merge_entity()**, if the entity that you are updating doesn't exist then the update operation will fail. Therefore, if you want to store an entity regardless of whether it already exists, you should instead use **insert_or_replace_entity()** or **insert_or_merge_entity()**.

-## Work with groups of entities

-Sometimes it makes sense to submit multiple operations together in a batch to ensure atomic processing by the server. To accomplish that, you first create a **Batch** object and then use the **execute_batch()** method on **TableService**. The following example demonstrates submitting two entities with RowKey 2 and 3 in a batch. Notice that it only works for entities with the same PartitionKey.

-```ruby

-azure_table_service = Azure::TableService.new

-batch = Azure::Storage::Table::Batch.new("testtable",

- "test-partition-key") do

- insert "2", { "content" => "new content 2" }

- insert "3", { "content" => "new content 3" }

-end

-results = azure_table_service.execute_batch(batch)

-```

-## Query for an entity

-To query an entity in a table, use the **get_entity()** method, by passing the table name, **PartitionKey** and **RowKey**.

-```ruby

-result = azure_table_service.get_entity("testtable", "test-partition-key",

- "1")

-```

-## Query a set of entities

-To query a set of entities in a table, create a query hash object and use the **query_entities()** method. The following example demonstrates getting all the entities with the same **PartitionKey**:

-```ruby

-query = { :filter => "PartitionKey eq 'test-partition-key'" }

-result, token = azure_table_service.query_entities("testtable", query)

-```

-> [!NOTE]

-> If the result set is too large for a single query to return, a continuation token is returned that you can use to retrieve subsequent pages.

-## Query a subset of entity properties

-A query to a table can retrieve just a few properties from an entity. This technique, called "projection," reduces bandwidth and can improve query performance, especially for large entities. Use the select clause and pass the names of the properties you would like to bring over to the client.

-```ruby

-query = { :filter => "PartitionKey eq 'test-partition-key'",

- :select => ["content"] }

-result, token = azure_table_service.query_entities("testtable", query)

-```

-## Delete an entity

-To delete an entity, use the **delete_entity()** method. Pass in the name of the table that contains the entity, the PartitionKey, and the RowKey of the entity.

-```ruby

-azure_table_service.delete_entity("testtable", "test-partition-key", "1")

-```

-## Delete a table

-To delete a table, use the **delete_table()** method and pass in the name of the table you want to delete.

-```ruby

-azure_table_service.delete_table("testtable")

-```

-Azure Stack HCI is set to be a new resource type that can be managed through Microsoft Defender for Cloud. We're adding four recommendations that are specific to the HCI resource type:

-| Recommendation | Description | Severity |

-|-|-|-|

-| Azure Stack HCI servers should meet Secured-core requirements | Ensure that all Azure Stack HCI servers meet the Secured-core requirements. (Related policy: [Guest Configuration extension should be installed on machines - Microsoft Azure](https://ms.portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_Azure_Security/GenericRecommendationDetailsBlade/assessmentKey/6c99f570-2ce7-46bc-8175-cde013df43bc)) | Low |

-| Azure Stack HCI servers should have consistently enforced application control policies | At a minimum, apply the Microsoft WDAC base policy in enforced mode on all Azure Stack HCI servers. Applied Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC) policies must be consistent across servers in the same cluster. | High |

-| Azure Stack HCI systems should have encrypted volumes | Use BitLocker to encrypt the OS and data volumes on Azure Stack HCI systems | High |

-| Host and VM networking should be protected on Azure Stack HCI systems | Protect data on the Azure Stack HCI hostΓÇÖs network and on virtual machine network connections. | Low |

-For more information about this compliance standard, see

-[New Zealand ISM Restricted](https://www.nzism.gcsb.govt.nz/ism-document). To understand

-# Details of the NZ ISM Restricted v3.5 Regulatory Compliance built-in initiative

-The following article details how the Azure Policy Regulatory Compliance built-in initiative

-definition maps to **compliance domains** and **controls** in NZ ISM Restricted v3.5.

-For more information about this compliance standard, see

-[NZ ISM Restricted v3.5](https://www.nzism.gcsb.govt.nz/ism-document). To understand

-_Ownership_, see [Azure Policy policy definition](../concepts/definition-structure.md#type) and

-[Shared responsibility in the cloud](../../../security/fundamentals/shared-responsibility.md).

-The following mappings are to the **NZ ISM Restricted v3.5** controls. Many of the controls

-are implemented with an [Azure Policy](../overview.md) initiative definition. To review the complete

-initiative definition, open **Policy** in the Azure portal and select the **Definitions** page.

-Then, find and select the **New Zealand ISM Restricted v3.5** Regulatory Compliance built-in

-initiative definition.

-> [!IMPORTANT]

-> Each control below is associated with one or more [Azure Policy](../overview.md) definitions.

-> These policies may help you [assess compliance](../how-to/get-compliance-data.md) with the

-> control; however, there often is not a one-to-one or complete match between a control and one or

-> more policies. As such, **Compliant** in Azure Policy refers only to the policy definitions

-> themselves; this doesn't ensure you're fully compliant with all requirements of a control. In

-> addition, the compliance standard includes controls that aren't addressed by any Azure Policy

-> definitions at this time. Therefore, compliance in Azure Policy is only a partial view of your

-> overall compliance status. The associations between compliance domains, controls, and Azure Policy

-> definitions for this compliance standard may change over time. To view the change history, see the

-> [GitHub Commit History](https://github.com/Azure/azure-policy/commits/master/built-in-policies/policySetDefinitions/Regulatory%20Compliance/NZ_ISM_Restricted_v3_5.json).
