Automating your Power BI dataset refresh can save time and ensure your reports always stay up to date. In this post, we’ll walk through how to trigger a Power BI report refresh directly from Azure Data Factory (ADF) using an App Registration in Azure Entra ID.
There was a time when moving data from multiple sources felt like untangling a giant knot. Every data refresh meant scripts breaking, manual checks, and long hours spent ensuring everything flowed from source to destination correctly. Then Azure Data Factory (ADF) entered the picture, and it didn’t just simplify ETL and ELT. It completely transformed how we think about data orchestration at scale.
Online spaces thrive on trust. Whether it’s a social network, a community forum, or a brand encouraging customers to share their experiences, user-generated content is at the heart of digital interaction. People tend to trust authentic voices more than marketing copy, and businesses actively promote this trust as part of their strategy.
Did you know you can run Azure AI services on your own infrastructure using containers? Microsoft provides container images for individual AI service APIs through the Microsoft Container Registry (MCR). This allows you to deploy AI closer to your data on-premises, in Azure, or even at the edge.
Azure AI Foundry is a powerful platform for developing and scaling AI solutions. It gives teams structure through hubs and projects, shared resources, and collaborative tools. But to get the most from Foundry, it is important to plan carefully. From resource organization to cost management, a little forethought can make your AI journey smoother and more efficient.
A project in Azure AI Foundry is a workspace designed for a specific AI development effort. Each project connects to a hub, giving it access to shared resources while also providing its own dedicated environment for collaboration and experimentation.
A hub is the foundation of Azure AI Foundry. Think of it as a control center where all the shared resources, security settings, and configurations for your AI development live. Without at least one hub, you cannot use the full power of Foundry’s solution development capabilities.
Azure AI Foundry is Microsoft’s dedicated platform for building, managing, and scaling AI solutions in the cloud. It is not just a collection of services, it is a structured environment designed to make AI development more efficient, organized, and secure.
Today, the real magic of AI lies in its capabilities. These are the practical functions that bring intelligence into software applications. Let’s explore the key AI capabilities that developers are using to build smarter, more responsive, and human-like systems.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is everywhere these days, from personalized Netflix recommendations to chatbots that answer your questions in real-time. But not all AI is built the same. A key distinction exists between traditional AI approaches and the rising star: Generative AI (Gen AI).
While working with Microsoft Fabric, a question came to mind: why use a Data Warehouse if the Lakehouse already provides a SQL endpoint? At first glance, it may seem redundant. However, when you look closer, the two serve very different purposes, and understanding these differences is key to knowing when to use each.
When it comes to data visualization and business intelligence (BI), Power BI and Tableau are two of the most popular platforms in the world. Both turn raw data into insights, but they differ in cost, ecosystem fit, and flexibility.
