In this lesson, we break down the core building blocks of Azure Data Factory (ADF)—the essential components every data engineer must understand before building real pipelines. You’ll learn how Pipelines, Activities, Datasets, Linked Services, Integration Runtimes, and Dataflows work together to create powerful ETL/ELT workflows. We also dive deep into Linked Services & Datasets, including authentication methods, schema handling, dynamic datasets, and supported file formats. This video helps you understand how ADF connects, moves, transforms, and orchestrates data across cloud and on-prem environments—giving you the foundation to build enterprise-grade pipelines. #Azure #AzureDataFactory #ADF #DataEngineering #AzureTutorial #AzureStorage #ETL #ELT #CloudEngineering #Synapse #Databricks
