Brand note
Official Microsoft icon guidance permits certain icons in architecture diagrams, training materials or documentation under stated terms and requires that icons not be cropped, rotated, distorted, modified or used to represent another product. This manual uses generic line icons and neutral text-labeled shapes rather than Microsoft product icons.
Microsoft cloud services change frequently. If a link no longer works, search for the reference title on Microsoft Learn. Questions about the manual? Reach me on LinkedIn.
