Discovering Azure Purview

With the Azure Purview preview, Microsoft introduces the first wave of data governance tools. You will find modules for the following:

  • Data scanning and cataloging and search
  • Data classification and glossary
  • Data lineage including Data Factory/Synapse pipelines and Power BI
  • Metadata insights

Purview integrates with Synapse in a way that you can use the Purview search functionality within the Synapse workspace. The search results can be used by a Synapse developer, for example, to start a SQL script or a Spark Notebook just in the same way as you would do from the Data Lake browser in the Synapse workspace.
