Azure Data Factory Skill

This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Data Factory. Covers troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. It combines local quick-reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities.

How to Use This Skill

IMPORTANT for Agent: Use the Category Index below to locate relevant sections. For categories with line ranges (e.g., L35-L120), use read_file with the specified lines. For categories with file links (e.g., [security.md](security.md)), use read_file on the linked reference file

IMPORTANT for Agent: If metadata.generated_at is more than 3 months old, suggest the user pull the latest version from the repository. If mcp_microsoftdocs tools are not available, suggest the user install it: Installation Guide

This skill requires network access to fetch documentation content:

• Preferred: Use mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch with query string from=learn-agent-skill. Returns Markdown.
• Fallback: Use fetch_webpage with query string from=learn-agent-skill&accept=text/markdown. Returns Markdown.

Category Index

Category	Lines	Description
Troubleshooting	L37-L90	Diagnosing and fixing ADF issues: connector/format errors, copy & data flow performance, pipelines/triggers, SHIR/SSIS IR problems, security/access, and interpreting failure logs.
Best Practices	L91-L113	Performance, DataOps, and reliability best practices for ADF: tuning data flows/copy, optimizing sources/sinks/IR, handling schema drift/errors, and migrating data (HDFS, Netezza, S3) to Azure.
Decision Making	L114-L134	Guidance on ADF architecture, runtimes, connector upgrades, cost optimization, and migration/modernization of pipelines, SSIS, Synapse, and data warehouses to Azure/Fabric
Architecture & Design Patterns	L135-L145	Patterns and architectures for ADF: efficient mapping data flows, metadata‑driven copy, SSIS IR with SQL MI/failover/VNet, Cosmos DB migration, and SAP CDC design.
Limits & Quotas	L146-L150	Info on ADF connector lifecycle stages and timelines, plus how reservation discounts work for Mapping Data Flows and how they affect cost and capacity planning
Security	L151-L181	Securing Data Factory with identity, encryption, Key Vault, and Azure Policy, plus network controls like VNets, Private Link, firewalls, private endpoints, and secure runtimes (Azure-SSIS, self-hosted).
Configuration	L182-L295	Configuring ADF artifacts and runtime: pipelines, activities, data flows, triggers, copy behavior, formats, IRs (Azure/self-hosted/SSIS), monitoring, logging, parameters, and DevOps setup.
Integrations & Coding Patterns	L296-L482	Connector how-tos, patterns, and activities for copying/transforming data between ADF and many services (databases, SaaS apps, files, Fabric, Databricks, SSIS, ML, Synapse) using data flows and SDKs.
Deployment	L483-L496	CI/CD and deployment for ADF: ARM/linked templates, Azure DevOps pipelines, hotfix flows, pre/post scripts, IR automation, SSIS job migration, and networked IR migration.
