Microsoft Application Virtualization
The appv file is a container that stores XML and non-XML files together in a single entity. This file is built from the AppX format, which is based on the Open Packaging Conventions (OPC) standard.
Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets
Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets (VMSS) enable the creation and management of a group of load-balanced virtual machines (VMs) that can automatically scale in response to demand or a defined schedule. This service is designed to support large-scale applications, such as batch processing, big data, and container workloads, by allowing users to efficiently deploy and manage thousands of VMs with uniform configurations.
