The grouping of activities arranged to accomplish a task together is known as Pipelines. It allows users to manage the individual activities as a single group and provide a quick overview of the activities involved in a complex task with many steps.
ADF activities are grouped into three parts:
- Data Movement Activities – Used to ingest data into Azure or export data from Azure to external data stores.
- Data Transformation Activities – Related to data processing and extracting information from data.
- Control Activities – Specify a condition or affect the progress of the pipeline.
