QuickStart: Synapse Link

[leighatami]

As a Terraform user, I want to be able to write a single terraform module that can configure synapse links to Dataverse to manage both Azure and Power Platform from the same tooling/processes.

• [ ] Documentation
• [ ] Examples: terraform files must create both Power Platform and Azure resources

The actual resources required to be deployed for this are -

• PP Environment
• Dataverse
• Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2
• Azure Synapse Link Service

I managed to pack down in one tf file is 1/ Create PP environment with Dataverse, 2/ Create Synapse workspace with the relevant pre-requisites. The challenge I have at the moment is automating the establishing the Synapse link between Dataverse and Synapse link - I'd found out from the relevant PG team on the Dataverse side is that there is no readily consumable api to achieve this.

1/ Automate what can be automated to date and leave minimum manual steps possible. 2/ Seek clarity on what the action required to complete this step "behind the scenes" when manually configuring it. 3/ Explore potential options to automate these "behind the scenes" actions through terraform. 4/ Find the right team to have this on an API between various teams in Power Platform or Synapse, entertain this as a backlog item.
