Management Levels & Hierarchy
Organize multiple subscriptions into a
hierarchy.
Apply policies and access controls across
multiple subscriptions for unified management.

Serves as containers for resources.


Define billing boundaries and access control;
each subscription is linked to a billing account.

Logical containers for resources within a


subscription.
Group related resources for easier
management, deployment, and organization.

Individual services or assets, such as VMs,


databases, or storage accounts.
The smallest unit of management in Azure
where resources are created, managed, and 01
deleted within resource groups.
What is Azure Data Factory?

A cloud-based data integration service for moving and


transforming data.
Ideal for building data pipelines to orchestrate ETL
processes.
Data Factory provides a data integration and
transformation layer that works across your digital
transformation initiatives.
Allows to work with parameters and thus enables to pass
on parameters dynamically between datasets, pipelines &
triggers.

Key Features of Azure Data Factory
1.Pipelines
Logical grouping of activities that perform a unit of work.
Allows management of activities as a set.
Can operate sequentially or in parallel.
2. Activities
Represent processing steps in a pipeline (e.g., copying or transforming data).
Types include data movement, data transformation, and control activities.
3. Datasets
Represent data structures within data stores.
Used as inputs or outputs in activities.
4. Linked Services
Define the connection information to external resources (like connection strings).
Used for data stores and compute resources.

03
5. Data Flows
Manage graphs of data transformation logic.
Execute processes on a Spark cluster, automatically scaled as needed.
6. Integration Runtime
Provides the bridge between activities and linked services.
Executes activities in the closest region for performance and compliance.
7. Triggers
Determine when a pipeline execution is initiated.
Various types available for different events.
8. Parameters: Read-only configurations defined in the pipeline, passed during execution.
9. Variables: Temporary storage within pipelines, used for value passing between activities.
10. Control Flow
Orchestration of activities, including sequencing, branching, and looping.
Allows complex workflows with custom state passing.

04
Azure Blob Storage
Scalable object storage for any type of data (e.g., photos,
videos, backups).
Ideal for storing and retrieving large amounts of unstructured
data.
Automatically scales to handle growing data needs.
Access data from anywhere via the internet with secure
access controls.
Pay only for what you use, with tiered pricing based on
storage class and access frequency.
Store backups with high durability.
Store data for analysis with tools like Amazon Redshift.
Store and distribute media files globally.

05
Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2
Optimized storage solution for big data analytics, combining
features of a data lake and cloud storage.
Seamlessly integrates with Azure analytics services like Azure
Databricks, Synapse Analytics, and HDInsight.
Supports directories and subdirectories for efficient data
organization.
Designed for high-throughput and low-latency big data workloads.
Offers tiered storage options and optimized transactions for cost-
effective big data processing.
Central repository for structured and unstructured data.
Store and process large datasets for insights.
Large-scale data storage for model training and analysis.
