Managing data pipelines in Data Factory/Synapse pipelines
ADF and Synapse pipelines provide two tabs called Manage and Monitor, which can help us manage and monitor the pipelines, respectively.
In the Manage tab, you can add, edit, and delete linked services, integration runtimes, triggers, configure Git, and more, as shown in the following screenshot:
We have already learned about linked services throughout this book. Now, let's explore the topic of integration runtimes in ADF and Synapse pipelines.
Integration runtimes
An integration runtime (IR) refers to the compute infrastructure that's used by ADF and Synapse Pipelines to run data pipelines and data flows. These are the actual machines or VMs that run the job behind the scenes.
The IR takes care of running data flows, copying data across public and private networks, dispatching activities to services such as Azure HDInsight and Azure...
