A _site_ is a collection of Azure IoT Operations instances. Sites typically group instances by physical location and make it easier for OT users to locate and manage assets. An IT administrator creates sites and assigns Azure IoT Operations instances to them. To learn more, see [What is Azure Arc site manager (preview)?](../../azure-arc/site-manager/overview.md).

An _asset endpoint_ is a custom resource in your Kubernetes cluster that connects OPC UA servers to connector for OPC UA modules. This connection enables a connector for OPC UA to access an asset's data points. Without an asset endpoint, data can't flow from an OPC UA server to the connector for OPC UA and MQTT broker. After you configure the custom resources in your cluster, a connection is established to the downstream OPC UA server and the server forwards telemetry to the connector for OPC UA.
