When reading about cloud native endpoints, you see the following terms:
- Endpoint: An endpoint is a device, like a mobile phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer. "Endpoints" and "devices" are used interchangeably.
- Managed endpoints: Endpoints that receive policies from the organization using an MDM solution or Group Policy Objects. These devices are typically organization owned, but can also be BYOD or personally owned devices.
- Cloud native endpoints: Endpoints that are joined to Microsoft Entra. They aren't joined to on-premises AD.
- Workload: Any program, service, or process.
