Azure Synapse Analytics PoC Accelerator

Description

Create a Synapse Analytics environment based on best practices to achieve a successful proof of concept. While settings can be adjusted, the major deployment differences are based on whether or not you used Private Endpoints for connectivity. If you do not already use Private Endpoints for other Azure deployments, it's discouraged to use them for a proof of concept as they have many other networking depandancies than what can be configured here.

How to Run

"Easy Button" Deployment

The following commands should be executed from the Azure Cloud Shell at https://shell.azure.com using bash:

@Azure:~$ git clone https://github.com/shaneochotny/Azure-Synapse-Analytics-PoC
@Azure:~$ cd Azure-Synapse-Analytics-PoC
@Azure:~$ bash deploySynapse.sh 

Advanced Deployment: Bicep

You can manually configure the Bicep parameters and update default settings such as the Azure region, database name, credentials, and private endpoint integration. The following commands should be executed from the Azure Cloud Shell at https://shell.azure.com using bash:

@Azure:~$ git clone https://github.com/shaneochotny/Azure-Synapse-Analytics-PoC
@Azure:~$ cd Azure-Synapse-Analytics-PoC
@Azure:~$ code Bicep/main.parameters.json
@Azure:~$ az deployment sub create --template-file Bicep/main.bicep --parameters Bicep/main.parameters.json --name Azure-Synapse-Analytics-PoC --location eastus
@Azure:~$ bash deploySynapse.sh 

Advanced Deployment: Terraform

You can manually configure the Terraform parameters and update default settings such as the Azure region, database name, credentials, and private endpoint integration. The following commands should be executed from the Azure Cloud Shell at https://shell.azure.com using bash:

@Azure:~$ git clone https://github.com/shaneochotny/Azure-Synapse-Analytics-PoC
@Azure:~$ cd Azure-Synapse-Analytics-PoC
@Azure:~$ code Terraform/terraform.tfvars
@Azure:~$ terraform -chdir=Terraform init
@Azure:~$ terraform -chdir=Terraform plan
@Azure:~$ terraform -chdir=Terraform apply
@Azure:~$ bash deploySynapse.sh
