I have an Azure Repos project with IaC code and ci/cd yaml pipelines to set up Azure Synapse infrastructure. Can you recommend what is right approach when I integrate the workspace to connect to git? Should I create a new project in Azure Repos for the Synapse artifacts or should I use the same repository as the infrastructure project?
I will be setting up ci/cd pipelines to deploy the azure synapse artifacts as well.
Thanks!
Here's an answer to a similar question I posted:
You'll want to follow Microsoft's guide on CI/CD with Synapse. This is a great walkthrough video for the process.
Work in your development environment and commit to your collaboration branch.
A pipeline triggers off of your workspace_publish branch, releasing your code to your next environment (preferably with an approval gate)
Continue releasing the same code to higher environments, again with approval gates.
For Azure DevOps, you can use variable groups to parameterize your pipeline. Also make sure to read through the custom parameters section on that link to parameterize parts of the template that are not parameterized by default.

I have a situation here where I import resources from my Azure DevOps Git repository DEV to TEST, I want DEV code to be independent of TEST and not commit my changes back to the repository.
After I import the repository to TEST I made changes to the SQL database connection string in the copy activity source and sink in TEST and had to commit the changes for the debug to run and the triggers I have setup for the pipelines don't run in TEST as per the schedule and fail in DEV because of the changes I did in TEST.
When move the pipelines and underlying objects to different environments, How do I make all the environments independent once I import repository? Is there a way to copy from the repository to the Synapse live mode to accomplish this?
OR How would I automate deployment of Synapse pipelines? Is it using ARM or Bicep Template?

im trying to deploy some synapse artifacts to a synapse workspace with devops repo integration via a python runbook. By using the azure-synapse-artifacts library of the python azure sdk the artifacts are published directly to the live mode of the synapse workspace. Is there any way to deploy artifacts to a devops repo branch for synapse? Didnt find any devops repo apis or libaries, just for the direct integration of git.
We can use CICD in this case, as this process will help to move entities from one environment to others, and for this we need to configure our synapse work space as source in GIT.
Below are few straight steps we can follow:
Set up Azure Synapse workspace and configure pipeline in Azure Devops.
Under staging while creating DevOps project, we can select Add Artifacts and select GIT.
Configure the workflow file and add workflow.
You can refer to MS Docs for detailed explanation of each step in achieving this task
I want to deploy Azure Resources using GitLab pipelines. resources e.g. Resource Group, storage account, etc. using ARM/Powershell stored in GitLab CI and using GitLab pipelines how can I deploy any Azure resources?
You've to setup gitlab-ci.yml and use it in CI / CD on GitLab.
Please follow this video tutorial from Azure DevOps explaining the process.
This tutorial covers all the steps you mentioned from 1-5.
My source code is on GitHub.
I have an Azure Devops pipeline set up to build and deploy the application to an Azure subscription.
I also have the full azure environment defined in ARM templates.
I'd like to run the template deployment only when a specific folder changes in my GitHub repo.
Path triggers are only for Azure Devops repos.
Other possible solutions I investigated, but there is no clear documentation on how to achieve this exactly:
Custom condition on build or release task.
Pre-deployment conditions. Maybe artifact filters?
Pre-deployment Gates?
The ARM template deployment is idempotent, I know, but it takes a several long minutes to run even if there was no infrastructure change and I'd like to avoid that time wasted on every build.
Sounds like you have a single pipeline for both the infrastructure and application code. I have separate pipelines for each, one for infrastructure as code and other builds/pipelines for applications, NuGet package creation, etc. Perhaps split the pipeline and have the application deployment trigger after and separately from the infrastructure deployment pipeline. That way the application build and deployment can run in a more frequent cycle.
I have created Azure Data Factory with Copy Activity using C# and Azure SDK.
How can deploy it using CI/CD ?
Any URL or link will help
Data Factory continuous integration and delivery is now possible with directly through the web user interface using ARM Templates or even Git (Github or Azure DevOps).
Just click on "Set up Code Repository" and follow the steps.

One idea that I got from Microsoft was that using the same Azure SDK you could deserialize the objects and save down the JSON files following the official directory structure into your local GitHub/Git working directory
In other words you would have to mimic what the UI Save All/Save button does from the portal.
Then using Git bash, you can just commit and push to your working branch (i.e. develop) and from the UI you can just publish (this will create an adf_publish release branch with the ARM objects)
Official reference for CI using VSTS and the UI Publish feature: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/continuous-integration-deployment
Unfortunately, CI/CD for ADF is not very intuitive at first glance.
Check out this blog post where I'm describing what/how/why step by step:
Deployment of Azure Data Factory with Azure DevOps
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns and finally - if that works for you.
Good luck!

I am still new to DevOps and CI/CD, but I do know that other departments had this set up and it looks to be working for them.
