Azure Data Factory

Azure Data Factory introduction class.

Azure Data Factory is a cloud-based data integration service that allows you to create data-driven workflows in the cloud for orchestrating and automating data movement and data transformation.

ADF does not store any data itself. It allows you to create data-driven workflows to orchestrate the movement of data between supported data stores and then process the data using compute services in other regions or in an on-premise environment. It also allows you to monitor and manage workflows using both programmatic and UI mechanisms.

ADF can be used for:

Supporting data migrations

Getting data from a client’s server or online data to an Azure Data Lake

Carrying out various data integration processes

Integrating data from different ERP systems and loading it into Azure Synapse for reporting

This is for the people who want to migrate from legacy ETL tools or who want to start their IT career with Azure - Azure Data Factory with no coding.

We will discuss more in detail over the session. Thanks in advance
