Answer 1

You need to follow these steps :

1. Configure Git Repository:
   • Set up Azure Data Factory with an Azure DevOps Git repository. The repository will typically have a collaboration branch (e.g., dev) for development and a publish branch (e.g., adf_publish or master) where the ARM templates are stored after publishing changes from ADF.
2. Build Pipeline for CI:
   • Create a build pipeline in Azure DevOps that triggers on changes in the main branch. This pipeline should validate the Data Factory resources using the @microsoft/azure-data-factory-utilities npm package to generate and validate ARM templates. This replaces the manual publish step in ADF UI.
3. Release Pipeline for CD:
   • Set up a release pipeline to deploy these ARM templates to different environments (e.g., development, staging, production). Add tasks for stopping triggers, deploying the ARM templates, and starting triggers again as needed.
4. Parameterize Environment-Specific Values:
   • Use a parameter file (arm-template-parameters-definition.json) to manage environment-specific configurations like Key Vault names and storage account details. This allows flexibility when promoting code between environments.
5. Automate with Pre/Post Deployment Scripts:
   • Include scripts in the release pipeline to handle pre- and post-deployment actions such as cleaning up old resources or managing trigger states.
