Azure Data Factory - Interview Concepts

Main Concepts
1. Data Factory: Cloud-based ETL service used to create and manage data pipelines. Moves and

transforms data across sources.

2. Pipeline: A container for a group of activities that define the workflow of data movement and

transformation.

3. Activity: A single step in a pipeline like Copy Activity, Data Flow Activity, etc.

4. Datasets: Define the schema or structure of input/output data used in a pipeline.

5. Linked Services: Like a connection string that defines how to connect to data sources.

6. Triggers: Used to schedule pipeline execution (time-based, event-based, manual).

7. Integration Runtime (IR): Compute infrastructure used for moving and transforming data. Types:

Azure IR, Self-hosted IR, Azure-SSIS IR.

8. Data Flow: Visual way to transform data at scale using a no-code interface.

9. Copy Activity: Moves data from source to destination (e.g., from SQL to Blob).

10. Monitoring: Allows checking pipeline status, debugging, and viewing logs.
