How to generate a paramterized bicep script for ADF/Synapse Linked Services?

JasonW-5564 161

I want to have a scripted deployment of the same linked services for all my environments (DEV, TST, PROD). I want them to have the same names, but parameterize the connection strings to point to correspond environment's equivalent.

If possible I would also like to script the Synapse WS permissions as well for automated deployment as well. If separate thread needed for this, please disregard.

Thanks for using MS Q&A

To script the deployment of the same linked services for all environments in Azure Synapse Analytics, you can follow these steps:

Create an Azure Key Vault (AKV) per environment to hold the connection strings for the linked services.
Create an Azure Key Vault Linked Service in each environment with the same name.
Create a parameter for each linked service in the SynapseWorkspaceDeployment task on Azure DevOps.
Override the parameters on the SynapseWorkspaceDeployment task during the CI/CD process to change the URL in the deployed linked services.
Use the Azure portal or a programming interface to parameterize linked services.
Use the Synapse workspace deployment extension to deploy other items in your Azure Synapse workspace, such as datasets, SQL scripts and notebooks, spark job definitions, integration runtime, data flow, credentials, and other artifacts in the workspace.

reference: Parameterize linked services - Azure Data Factory & Azure Synapse | Microsoft Learn

Regarding scripting the Synapse WS permissions for automated deployment :

you can use Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions to automate the deployment of an Azure Synapse workspace to multiple environments. You can use the Synapse workspace deployment extension to deploy other items in your Azure Synapse workspace, including Synapse WS permissions.You can also refer to the following resources for more information on CI/CD deployment of Azure Synapse Analytics:

Thanks. Is there a way to do this without ADO? The customer only uses GitHub Enterprise.

Yes,

Create a GitHub repository: Create a GitHub repository that contains your Bicep script and any other necessary scripts or configurations for deploying your linked services.

Set up GitHub Actions: In your GitHub repository, create a new file named .github/workflows/deploy.yml. This file will define the GitHub Actions workflow for deploying your linked services across different environments (DEV, TST, PROD).

Here's an example of how you can structure your deploy.yml file:

name: Deploy Linked Services on: [push] jobs: deploy: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - name: Checkout Repository uses: actions/checkout@v2 with: fetch-depth: 0 - name: Set Up Azure CLI id: azure_cli run: | sudo apt-get install -y github-cli sudo github-cli config set git protocol ssh sudo github-cli config set core.sshKey ~/.ssh/id_rsa echo "export AZURE_CLIENT_ID=$(git config user.email)" >> $GITHUB_ENV echo "export AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=$(git config user.password)" >> $GITHUB_ENV export AZURE_TENANT_ID="your_tenant_id" az login --query [id] - name: Deploy to DEV run: | az deployment group create --name devDeployment --resource-group your_resource_group_for_dev --template-file devTemplate.json --params file:devParams.json - name: Deploy to TST run: | az deployment group create --name tstDeployment --resource-group your_resource_group_for_tst --template-file tstTemplate.json --params file:tstParams.json - name: Deploy to PROD run: | az deployment group create --name prodDeployment --resource-group your_resource_group_for_prod --template-file prodTemplate.json --params file:prodParams.json

your Azure AD tenant ID, and update the devTemplate.json, devParams.json, tstTemplate.json, and tstParams.json files with the appropriate Bicep scripts and parameters for each environment.

3.Configure GitHub Actions secrets: In your GitHub repository, create a new secret named AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET, and AZURE_TENANT_ID. Set the values of these secrets to your Azure AD client ID, client secret, and tenant ID, respectively.

4.Push your changes: Push your changes to the GitHub repository. GitHub Actions will automatically trigger the deployment workflow when a push is made to the main branch.

This approach allows you to automate the deployment of your linked services across different environments (DEV, TST, PROD) without using Azure DevOps.

Hope this helps. if you have further queries, please do let us know.
