This lab explores creating a big data analytics pipeline with Azure Data Factory. Data Factory is a key component of the Cortana Intelligence Suite that orchestrates data movement through different storage layers and computer processes, turning raw data into intelligent actions.

In this lab, you will upload a file to Blob storage and use Data Factory to create a pipeline that will automate processing using Hive scripts in an HDInsight cluster.

Download the lab documentation and you’ll learn about:

• Creating an instance of the Azure Data Factory service
• Exploring key concepts such as linked services, datasets, pipelines, and activities
• Creating linked services, datasets, and pipelines in the Azure Portal
• Deploying and scheduling a pipeline
