Orchestrating ADX data with Azure Data Factory
In the recipe, we highlight the orchestration capabilities of ADF in conjunction with ADX. The focus is on the ADX Command activity within ADF, which facilitates the direct execution of ADX commands.
We will begin by querying the Storm Events table in ADX to extract specific records where direct deaths exceed 5 and place them into the new table, DeadlyStorms. Following this extraction, the recipe outlines the steps to ingest this dataset into a new table within ADX using ADF.
By the end of this recipe, you will have a clear understanding of how to orchestrate data processes and manage data movement within ADX using Azure Data Factory, enhancing your capability to perform intricate data operations within Azure.
Getting ready
We will continue to use our existing ADX cluster and will need to use the service principal that we created in Chapter 1, Getting Started with ADF – or you can use any other service principal...
