Synapse workspace deployment - V2.0*

Question

Hi Team,

As per the recent updates (V2.0*) for the "Synapse workspace deployment" task, synapse pipelines can be deployed from any branch (Instead of only the workspace_publish branch).

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=AzureSynapseWorkspace.synapsecicd-deploy

Other branches won't have any parameter file, so not sure how the linked services parameterisation works. Can somebody help here with any POC of the synapse devops deployment with the latest V2.0* updates (Especially deploying pipelines from any ADO-GIT branch)?

Thanks

Regards,

Hello @Nagesh CL ,

Welcome to the MS Q&A platform.

Please correct me if my understanding is wrong. You want to know how the linked services parameterization works using the non-published branches(user branches).

Validate and deploy can be used to directly deploy the workspace from non-publish branch with the artifact root folder.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/synapse-analytics/cicd/continuous-integration-delivery#configure-the-deployment-task

Here you need to select the artifacts root folder which has the ARM templates.

Validate and Deploy Operation

The goal of the Validate and Deploy operation is to deploy the artifacts to a target from any user branch (a non-publish branch). It does the job of the Validate operation (generating the ARM templates based on the specified branch) and adds this extra deploy step to deploy only the artifacts from that branch.

This is a useful operation when you want to cherry pick the code that you want to deploy from your lower environment to your target environment, bypassing the manual Publish operation. Before V2, the deploy operation would only consider the ARM code published from the collaboration branch. In V2 the task can consider the code from any non-publish branch!

For your question: how the linked services parameterization works

You can override the template parameters in the overrideparameters section of the synapse deployment task. This is same as the V1 deployment.

Please follow the below document explained about this validate and deploy option.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
