What is Azure ADF?

Azure ADF, or Azure Data Factory, is a cloud-based data integration service provided by Microsoft Azure. It allows you to create, schedule, and orchestrate data workflows and pipelines to move and transform data from various sources to data storage solutions or analytics platforms. Azure ADF supports data movement between on-premises and cloud data sources and provides rich data transformation capabilities using data flows or by integrating with other Azure services. It is commonly used for ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes, data migration, and data integration scenarios.
