As we discussed in question #3, Data Factory supports three activities: data movement, transformation, and control activities.
Data movement activities: As the name suggests, these activities help move data from one place to another.
e.g., Copy Activity in Data Factory copies data from a source to a sink data store.
Data transformation activities: These activities help transform the data while we load it into the data's target or destination.
e.g., Stored Procedure, U-SQL, Azure Functions, etc.
Control flow activities: Control (flow) activities help control the flow of any activity in a pipeline. e.g., Wait activity makes the pipeline wait for a specified amount of time.
