What is the trigger execution in Azure Data Factory?

Answer 1

In Azure Data Factory, pipelines can be triggered or automated.

Some ways to automate or trigger the execution of Azure Data Factory Pipelines are:

1. Schedule Trigger: It invokes a pipeline execution at a fixed time or on a fixed schedule such as weekly, monthly etc.
2. Tumbling Window Trigger: It executes Azure Data Factory Pipeline at fixed periodic time intervals without overlap from a specified start time.
3. Event-Based Trigger: It executes an Azure Data Factory Pipeline based on the occurrence of some event, such as the arrival or deletion of a new file in Azure Blob Storage.
