Microsoft Azure Data Factory is a cloud-based ETL and data integration service that is hosted on Microsoft Azure. You can create and configure a Microsoft Azure Data Factory catalog source to extract metadata from the Microsoft Azure Data Factory source system. You can run connection-aware scans on Microsoft Azure Data Factory sources.
Note: To improve wildcard lineage at the directory or file level for Microsoft Azure Data Factory assets, perform connection assignment, and run the Microsoft Azure Data Factory catalog source again. These wildcards can refer to files in Amazon S3 and Microsoft Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2.
