Design and implement data ingestion and transformation

Question

You need to recommend a method to populate the POS1 data to the lakehouse medallion layers. What should you recommend for the Bronze layer?

Options

  • AA Dataflow Gen2 dataflow
  • BA notebook
  • CA pipeline Copy activity
  • DA pipeline stored procedure

Explanation

To populate the Bronze layer of a lakehouse with POS1 data, a pipeline Copy activity is the most suitable method.

Common mistakes.

  • A. A Dataflow Gen2 dataflow is primarily used for data transformation and cleansing, which is more aligned with the Silver or Gold layers of a medallion architecture, not the raw ingestion phase of the Bronze layer.
  • B. A notebook, typically utilizing Apache Spark, is suitable for complex data transformations, processing, and analysis, which is an overkill for the simple raw data ingestion required for a Bronze layer.
  • D. A pipeline stored procedure activity executes SQL stored procedures, which is not a native or efficient mechanism for ingesting raw data from external systems into a lakehouse.
