Kusto is the nickname for Azure Data Explorer (https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/products/data-explorer/#overview) which is available as a standalone service and which is also available in other places, for example as a workload in Synapse (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/synapse-analytics/data-explorer/data-explorer-overview). It has its own query language, KQL, which stands for Kusto Query Language (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-explorer/kusto/query/). A Kusto query is a query in KQL that runs against one of the different forms of Azure Data Explorer.
