Set-up Azure Data Factory

Completed

It is easy to set up Azure Data Factory from within the Azure portal, you only require the following information:

• Name: The name of the Azure Data Factory instance
• Subscription: The subscription in which the ADF instance is created
• Resource group: The resource group where the ADF instance will reside
• Version: select V2 for the latest features
• Location: The datacenter location in which the instance is stored

Enable Git provides the capability to integrate the code that you create with a Git repository enabling you to source control the code that you would create. Define the GIT url, repository name, branch name, and the root folder.

Alternatively, there are a number of different ways that you can provision the service programmatically. In this example you can see PowerShell at work to set up the environment.
