DevOps & CI/CD for Azure Synapse Analytics

DevOps is not just for developers.  If you are working with Data in the Cloud you need to understand how DevOps works for data.  In this demo heavy session we will set up a DevOps Repository, create a Dev Azure Synapse Analytics environment, link it to our Repository, create build & release pipelines, create our QA from an ARM template, and deploy our Dev changes to QA.  The goal of this session is to walk through the process from start to finish.
