Which Fabric tool is primarily used for orchestrating data movement and transformation pipelines?

• A. Data Pipeline
• B. Dataflow Gen2
• C. Notebook
• D. Eventstream

Answer: (A)

Orchestrating data movement and transformation pipelines means coordinating a set of tasks that move data from sources to destinations and apply transformations in the right order, with scheduling and dependency management.

Data Pipeline is the Fabric tool built for this orchestration role. It acts as the workflow engine to connect sources, destinations, and processing steps into end-to-end pipelines, handling scheduling, task dependencies, retries, and monitoring.

Dataflow Gen2 handles the actual data processing and transformations, not the orchestration. A Notebook is for interactive development and exploration, and Eventstream focuses on real-time streaming. So for coordinating and scheduling the entire pipeline of movement and transformation, Data Pipeline is the best fit.
