Security and Networking around Correctors of Azure App Proxy?


Connectors can be installed anywhere on the network that allows them to send requests to the Application Proxy service. What's important is that the computer running the connector also has access to your apps. You can install connectors inside of your corporate network or on a virtual machine that runs in the cloud. Connectors can run within a demilitarized zone (DMZ), but it's not necessary because all traffic is outbound so your network stays secure.

Connectors only send outbound requests. The outbound traffic is sent to the Application Proxy service and to the published applications. You don't have to open inbound ports because traffic flows both ways once a session is established. You don't have to set up load balancing between the connectors or configure inbound access through your firewalls.

For more information about configuring outbound firewall rules, see Work with existing on-premises proxy servers.

Use the Azure AD Application Proxy Connector Ports Test Tool to verify that your connector can reach the Application Proxy service. At a minimum, make sure that the Central US region and the region closest to you have all green checkmarks. Beyond that, more green checkmarks means greater resiliency.

What is the difference between Elastic and Enterprise Redis w.r.t "Hybrid Query" capabilities

  We'll explore scenarios involving nested queries, aggregations, custom scoring, and hybrid queries that combine multiple search criteria. 1. Nested Queries ElasticSearch Example: ElasticSearch supports nested documents, which allows for querying on nested fields with complex conditions. Query: Find products where the product has a review with a rating of 5 and the review text contains "excellent". { "query": { "nested": { "path": "reviews", "query": { "bool": { "must": [ { "match": { "reviews.rating": 5 } }, { "match": { "reviews.text": "excellent" } } ] } } } } } Redis Limitation: Redis does not support nested documents natively. While you can store nested structures in JSON documents using the RedisJSON module, querying these nested structures with complex condi...

Training LLM model requires more GPU RAM than storing same LLM

Storing an LLM model and training the same model both require memory, but the memory requirements for training are typically higher than just storing the model. Let's dive into the details: Memory Requirement for Storing the Model: When you store an LLM model, you need to save the weights of the model parameters. Each parameter is typically represented by a 32-bit float (4 bytes). The memory requirement for storing the model weights is calculated by multiplying the number of parameters by 4 bytes. For example, if you have a model with 1 billion parameters, the memory requirement for storing the model weights alone would be 4 GB (4 bytes * 1 billion parameters). Memory Requirement for Training: During the training process, additional components use GPU memory in addition to the model weights. These components include optimizer states, gradients, activations, and temporary variables needed by the training process. These components can require additional memory beyond just storing th...

How are vector databases used?

  Vector Databases Usage: Typically used for vector search use cases such as visual, semantic, and multimodal search. More recently, they are paired with generative AI text models for conversational search experiences. Development Process: Begins with building an embedding model designed to encode a corpus (e.g., product images) into vectors. The data import process is referred to as data hydration. Application Development: Application developers utilize the database to search for similar products. This involves encoding a product image and using the vector to query for similar images. k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) Indexes: Within the model, k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) indexes facilitate efficient retrieval of vectors. A distance function like cosine is applied to rank results by similarity.
