A cloud service role is a set of managed and load-balanced virtual machines that work together to perform tasks. The two kinds of Azure Web Service roles are:
Web Roles
* It is a cloud service role that is used to run web applications developed in programming languages supported by IIS (Internet Information Services) like ASP.NET, PHP, etc.
* It automatically deploys and hosts applications through the users IIS
Worker Roles
* It runs applications and other tasks that don't require IIS. It performs supporting background tasks along with web roles.
* It doesn’t use IIS and runs user applications standalone

This might be a matter of opinion for you, so answer as you see fit. In general, people say Azure is a better choice because it’s a Microsoft product, making it easier for organizations already using Windows Server, SQL Server, and Exchange to move to the cloud. In addition, because of Microsoft’s deep knowledge of developer tools, Azure offers multiple app deployment options for developers, which makes it stand out against AWS.

* The Mapping Data Flow feature currently allows Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Data Warehouse, delimited text files from Azure Blob storage or Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2, and Parquet files from Blob storage or Data Lake Storage Gen2 natively for source and sink.
* Use the Copy activity to stage data from any of the other connectors, and then execute a Data Flow activity to transform data after it’s been staged. For example, your pipeline will first copy into Blob storage, and then a Data Flow activity will use a dataset in source to transform that data.

A pipeline run can be defined as an instance of a pipeline execution. For example, you have a data factory pipeline to copy data from blob to file share that runs by event grid trigger. Each pipeline run has a unique id known as pipeline run id. This pipeline run id is a GUID that uniquely identifies each pipeline run. You can run a pipeline either by using some trigger or manually.

Mapping data flows provide a way to transform data at scale without any coding required. You can design a data transformation job in the data flow canvas by constructing a series of transformations. Start with any number of source transformations followed by data transformation steps. Complete your data flow with a sink to land your results in a destination. Mapping data flow is great at mapping and transforming data with both known and unknown schemas in the sinks and sources.
Power Query Data Wrangling allow you to do agile data preparation and exploration using the Power Query Online mashup editor at scale via spark execution. With the rise of data lakes sometimes you just need to explore a data set or create a dataset in the lake. You aren't mapping to a known target.

Self-hosted IR is an ADF pipeline construct that you can use with the Copy Activity to acquire or move data to and from on-prem or VM-based data sources and sinks. The virtual machines that you use for a self-hosted IR can also be placed inside of the same VNET as your protected data stores for access to those data stores from ADF. With data flows, you'll achieve these same end-results using the Azure IR with managed VNET instead.

A Fault Domain is defined as underlying hardware that is logically grouped. It shares a common network switch and common power source, same as racks in on-premises data-centres. All the VMs you create in the availability set are automatically distributed by Azure across these fault domains. The fault domains improve the process efficiency by minimizing the network outages, potential physical hardware failures, or power interruptions.

The Availability set is nothing but a logical grouping of Virtual machines and helps Azure to understand the architecture of your applications. The ideal number of VMs recommended to create in an availability set is two or more. This provides high availability of applications and meets the maximum percentage of Azure SLA standards. When there is only one VM is used with Azure Premium Storage, and the unplanned VMs are applied with Azure SLA.

We have two levels of security levels in ADLS Gen2 and they are as follows:
* Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
* Access Control Lists (ACLs)
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): RABC comes with the in-built roles which include contributor, reader, custom, or owner roles. There are two typical reasons behind assigning RBAC. one reason is to allow the use of built-in data explorer tools and the other reason is to specify the candidates who can manage the services.
Access Control Lists (ACLs): This security level defines the data objects which a user is allowed to read, write, or execute the desired structure. ACLs work as a complement to POSIX which is familiar to those with Linux or Unix background.

Below mentioned are the top-level concepts in Azure Data Factory:
* Pipeline: A Pipeline is defined as a logical group of activities that execute a task together.
* Activities: Activities are nothing but a sequence of steps that takes place in Pipeline. The activity may be like transferring data between different sources or data querying data sets.
* Datasets: It is nothing but a data source. Dataset is a structure that holds data in a predefined way.
* Linked services: It is nothing but a piece of connection information required for Data Factory to connect to external resources.

Following are the 3 types of Integration Runtime types we have in ADF:
Azure Integration Run Time: It performs the data copy tasks between the cloud data stores and delivers the activities to a wide range of computing services which include SQL server or Azure HDinsight where the data transformation happens.
Self Hosted Integration Runtime: Here the self-hosted runtime can copy tasks between a data store in a private network and a cloud data store. After which it delivers transform tasks against computing resources in Azure virtual network or on-premises network. You need to have a virtual machine or an on-premises machine inside a private network in order to install self-hosted integration run-time.
Azure SSIS Integration Run Time: It allows the execution of SSIS packages in a fully managed Azure compute environment. If you wish to lift and shift the current SQL Server Integration Services workload, you can natively execute SSIS packages by creating an Azure-SSIS IR.
