Introduction When implementing CICD processes in the context of Azure Synapse Analytics, you will require different workflows, depending on whether you are automating the integration and delivery of Workspace artifacts (pipelines,notebooks,etc…) or SQL pool objects (tables,stored procedures,etc…).

Granular Billing for Azure Data Factory
by Guest ChenyeCharlieZhu- 0 replies

For instance, if you are running data pipelines for multiple teams, you may want to determine the cost for each pipeline, for proper book-keeping and/or charge backs.
