    AIP is part of MIP, one of the building blocks if you will.

     

    As for labels, one of the announcements at Ignite was the unification of AIP and SCC labels, although they are still listed as separate types in the portal, and you cannot have a single label apply both retention and encryption. So I'd give them few more months to actually deliver on what they promised (technically they promised the unified labels at last year's Ignite, but...)

     

    Anyhow, you can watch this session for more details, I've highlighted some moments:
