Item Types

Data Pipelines

• Parameterization:
  • Activities connected to items that exist in a different workspace will always point to the original item unless parameterized in the find_replace section of the parameter.yml file.
  • Activities connected to items within the same workspace are re-pointed to the new item in the target workspace.
• Connections are not source controlled and must be created manually.
• The executing identity of the deployment must have access to the connections, or the deployment will fail.

Environments

• Parameterization:
  • Environments attached to custom spark pools attach to the default starter pool unless parameterized in the spark_pools section of the parameter.yml file.
  • The find_replace section in the parameter.yml file is not applied to Environments.
• Resources are not source controlled and will not be deployed.
• Environments with libraries will have high initial publish times (sometimes 20+ minutes).

Lakehouses

• Parameterization:
  • The find_replace section in the parameter.yml file is not applied.
• Shortcuts are not deployed with Lakehouses.
• Unpublish is disabled by default, enable with feature flag enable_lakehouse_unpublish

Notebooks

• Parameterization:
  • Notebooks attached to lakehouses always point to the original lakehouse unless parameterized in the find_replace section of the parameter.yml file.
• Resources are not source controlled and will not be deployed.

Reports

• Parameterization:
  • Reports connected to Semantic Models outside of the same workspace always point to the original Semantic Model unless parameterized in the find_replace section of the parameter.yml file.
  • Reports connected to Semantic Models within the same workspace are re-pointed to the new item in the target workspace.

Semantic Models

• Parameterization:
  • Semantic Models connected to sources outside of the same workspace always point to the original item unless parameterized in the find_replace section of the parameter.yml file.
  • Semantic Models connected to sources within the same workspace may or may not be re-pointed; it is best to test this before taking a dependency. Use the find_replace section of the parameter.yml file as needed.
• Initial deployment requires manual configuration of the connection after deployment.
