Hei
I have a simple scenario, where I have an on-premise system that hosts a rest api. I what based on data in that rest to fill data into a Auzure SQL database using some type of synchronization job. I just unsure of the best method to do this? Can one use Azure Data Factory for this? What other services can do the job?
Under Azure app services is a background task service called Azure Web Jobs

I have deployed an API with certain business logic in AKS. The load balancer type is internal. I am able to access this within AKS cluster. on the below address
http:servicename/myapi/
But I want to call this API from an ADF pipeline. How can I do that? What are the configurations I should do to be able to call this API from ADF?
You have to use Web Activity to make Rest API call from Azure DataFactory Pipeline.
An Azure Data Factory may be used to call a custom REST endpoint
through Web Activity. You can send datasets and connected services to
the activity to be consumed and accessed.
Note : By utilizing self-hosted integration runtime, Web Activity may also invoke URLs that are hosted on a private virtual network. The URL endpoint should be visible to the integration runtime.
Please check below documentation to know more about web activity : Web Activity in Azure Datafactory.
I'm wondering if it is possible to trigger an Azure Data Factory pipeline from a Microsoft Power App, and if so, how would one go about configuring this?
I was unable to find a PowerApp connector trigger in Azure Data Factory
I was unable to find a PowerApp connector trigger in Azure Logic Apps
I have experience with Azure, but no experience in PowerApps
If you have any ideas or information for me that would be great.
Thanks!
You can trigger an Azure Data Factory pipeline using the REST API like this:
The following sample command shows you how to run your pipeline by using the REST API manually:
POST
https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/mySubId/resourceGroups/myResourceGroup/providers/Microsoft.DataFactory/factories/myDataFactory/pipelines/copyPipeline/createRun?api-version=2017-03-01-preview
More information: Pipeline execution and triggers in Azure Data Factory → Manual execution (on-demand) → REST API
There is now a PowerApps connecter you can use to create a pipeline run: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/azuredatafactory/#create-a-pipeline-run
I am trying to recreate a web service in Azure.
The web service needs to get data from an Azure database that needs to be exposed to SharePoint online.
The only options when I get when creating a web service in the azure Portal are as follows
Web App
Web App + SQL
Function App
Do I need to create a Function app instead?. Is a Function app equivalent to an On premise Web service.
It depends on what kind of web service you want to host in Azure. E. g. if you have a dotnet / dotnet Core REST API, you probably want to create an API App (just search for API App).
In Amazon cloud API there is the possibility to get identity data, meaning data from the running instance - on which region it is, dns ....
is there the same option in Azure? as I am creating management system in which the server is installed on a virtual machine and I need to know to which region it is related, all this using REST API
In Azure you can use Azure API Management REST API to get all sort of information for Azure:
ex:
Lists all of the resources in a subscription:
https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscription-id}/resources?$top={top}$skiptoken={skiptoken}&$filter={filter}&api-version={api-version}
For the complete documentation look at this page here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn776326.aspx
You can do similar things using Powershell scripts as well.
I'm using Azure SQL, and there is a page in there with metrics
From what I understood the new Azure Managment Portal consumes only public apis. What I'm trying to find out is how to access these metrics via a REST or SOAP api. I've searched through the MSDN documentation but couldn't come up with anything.
Anyone have any ideas?
I presume Microsoft did not provide Azure Database monitoring REST or SOAP API as it would not be used much.
DBAs can connect to Azure Database and gather all the necessary statistics via dynamic management views which are quite powerful.
However, I do not have any article / documentation confirming my presumptions.
try the new sys.event_log and sys.database_connection_stats DMVs instead.
