I want to do continuous integration and deployment in Azure Data factory. I'm not able to find any specific document explaining this.
How can I do it or where can I read about it?
To build your project, you can use msbuild - just like it's done in Visual Studio. It will validate syntax, check references between json configurations and check all dependencies. If you are using Visual Studio Team Services as CI server you can use Visual Studio Build step in build configuration to do it. However, it requires to install ADF tools for VS on build agent machine.
To deploy, you can try:
Powershell. For example, you can use Set-AzureRmDataFactoryV2Dataset to deploy datasets. There are similar commands for all other configurations and for version 1 of Azure Data Factory as well.
If you are using VSTS, you can try this 3rd party extension. It allows to deploy json configurations and start/pause pipelines. I'm not sure if it works with ADF v2.
You can use the VSTS GIT integration with ADF v2 UX to do continous deployment and continuous integration. VSTS GIT integration allows you to choose a feature/development branch or create a new one in your VSTS GIT repo. You can work in your feature/development branch and create PR in VSTS GIT to merge your changes to the master branch. You can then publish to your data factory using ADF v2 UX. Please try this and let us know if this doesn't work for you or you face any issues.

I am new to Azure devops. Here I have a requirement to do dacpac file build and deployment in Azure devops.can anyone help me to share me the step to step procedure.
I am using visual studio 2017.
Thanks
How to build and deploy dacpac in azure devops
You can use build pipeline to build that and then deploy it using release pipeline.
1.If you developed the sql server project by VS, you can publish it to Azure Devops Repos following this document.
2.Then create a build pepeline following this, you can use classic UI editor without YAML to configure your pipeline.
1) Select the Azure Devops Git as source. And choose the sql server project published from VS.
2) Choose the agent you want to use in Agent Job, Hosted agent or Private agent.
3) Click the + in Agent Job to add a task. You can choose the Visual Studio build task, this task will call msbuild.exe to build your sql server project.
3.To deploy the output of sql server project, there're many choices. One is to use Windows Machine File Copy task to deploy the files in current agent to destination folder in remote machine. You can use this task in Release or even Build Pipeline to do that.
Hope it helps and if I misunderstand anything, feel free to contact me.
I have built an automation framework using Java, Selenium Webdriver, Maven, TestNG. Currently, I am using Jenkins for pipeline and CI.
Now new requirement assigned to me is using Azure DevOps as CI tool and execute all test from there instead of Jenkins.
After some research, I am getting the following :
Upload code to Github or other azure supported repo. and create a pipeline.
Write your Java code using Visual studio code and then it will be far easy to execute from Azure DevOps.
Is there any better way to do this?
You need to follow steps below. Main effort is of tools integration if those are not present in azure devops portal :
I am not sure which code repository you are using however if you are not using one which is supported by Azure devops, then you need integrate it with azure devops portal.
Create agentpool in azure devops with same configuration as your jenkins agent.
Create build pipeline in azure devops. It will ask your repository name . Give the same.
4.While Creating pipeline it will ask you whether to create azure pipline yaml or not . Say "Yes" and it will create sample yaml file in code repository.
Open Yaml file.
give your agentpool name where they have mentioned it.
under section " steps "
mention all steps which you want to do run test cases. you would mentioned same
thing is jenkins pipeline under stages --> steps like shell ''' '''
save yaml and run it. you are done
NOTE : Main thing is configuration of agentpool. you need to make it should have all software tools ( except jenkin agent jar :) ).
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.
Check the following link for more information, including a video demostration: https://aka.ms/azfr/401/02
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!
My resources on how to enable CI/CD using Azure DevOps and Data Factory comes from the Microsoft site below:
Continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) in Azure Data Factory
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.
I would like to deploy my ASP.NET Web App into Azure. I signed up for a free account on Azure and created a new DevOps Project, but when I select the option "bring your own code", I can only chose to get the code from Git repositories.
Is there an option to import the code from TFVC, or do I have to migrate my repo to Git?
It seems weird that Microsoft did not include their own technologies (TFVC) into the deployment process, or other popular version control tools (SVN, Mercurial...)
In the initial release of Azure DevOps Projects only supports Git repositories. Although Azure DevOps Projects do support building a CI/CD pipeline into Azure using existing projects, this version is primarily meant for bootstrapping new projects, and many new projects are started using Git as the version control system.
Supporting other version control types - especially TFVC - is on the backlog for future improvements.
Note: If you use YAML files for defining your build process in VSTS, then the repository is implicitly the same as the one in which your YAML file is present.
You can choose from the following repository types:
For more details, refer "Build definition source repositories".
I have set up Azure continuous deployment from a branch in my Visual Studio Team Services GIT Repository. Everything is working fine however I would like to run a few gulp tasks before the actual deployment takes place. Is there a way how I can do this?
Azure provides continuous deployment out of the box through the use of several sources of your code. What you will need will be more in the side of continuous integration, running tasks and flows to build the code.
There are many ways and tools of doing continuous integration, nevertheless the most compatible to do this in Azure would be within the build and release parts of Visual Studio Team Services.
Within your Azure subscription you can setup this following the next steps(it seems you have already setup your code in Visual Studio team services, then you can skip to step 3):
Creating a VSTS project
Putting your code in a Git Repo inside VSTS
Creating a Build definition
Adding your tasks from the Catalog
Adding and configuring your Gulp Tasks
Deploying the build to Azure
