Hi
Is it possible to run exe's like WinZip or PGP from within Azure Data Factory? We have a requirement where a file may get uploaded to the storage area which would need to be PGP encrypted/decrypted or uncompressed etc. I have looked at Azure functions but I'm not sure how an exe would be called, or if that is possible.
Thanks
An Azure service that provides an event-driven serverless compute platform.

@D Williams Azure function official document doesn't recommend or call this out as you can run any code on your function app for the supported language and runtime. You can use any of the supported triggers to trigger your function app but your executable should be deployed within the function app to run. From the function perspective sharing the previous discussion here.
Apologies for the delay getting back to you
We managed to do the uncompressing and compressing via ADF using the Copy Data Tool, which was quite easy to do (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/quickstart-create-data-factory-copy-data-tool)
In regards to the exe with PGP, we will look into this, as you have suggested.
Thanking you very much , and apologies for the delay in getting back
