Data Factory Adds Managed Identity Support to Data Flows

Azure Data Factory users can now build Mapping Data Flows utilising Managed Identity (formerly MSI) for Azure Data Lake Store Gen 2, Azure SQL Database and Azure Synapse Analytics (formerly SQL DW). These added security features, combined with ADF’s existing support for Azure Trusted Services, will allow you to now build ETL pipelines using ADLS Gn 2 storage accounts as sources and sinks without requiring public endpoints. Here are documentation links to configure your data factory to use MSI with [ADLS Gen 2](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/connector-azure-data-lake-storage#managed-identity), [SQL DB](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/connector-azure-sql-database#managed-identity) and [Synapse Analytics (SQL DW).](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/connector-azure-sql-data-warehouse#managed-identity) [Learn more](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-data-factory/azure-data-factory-adds-managed-identity-support-to-data-flows/ba-p/1132391) * Azure Data Factory * Features * [ Azure Data Factory](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/products/data-factory/)
