Summary
Getting started with Azure Synapse Data Explorer is easy. If you did not have an Azure account yet, this chapter started by explaining how to create one for free – just be aware of the costs incurred by your Azure Synapse experiments, as it is not one of the free services!
We then went through the process of creating an Azure Synapse workspace and explained in detail all the settings that are exposed through the Azure portal.
Next, we covered three different ways to create Data Explorer pools: through Azure Synapse Studio, through the Azure portal, and through the Azure CLI. In each section, we explored which to use and when. We walked through the Data Explorer pool parameters in detail the first time we created it, and then we explored the user experience differences in the Azure portal. Lastly, we created a Data Explorer pool using the Azure CLI, which allows cloud admins to automate the creation of Azure services using shell scripts.
