Abstract

A common attribute of many developers is the desire to do things quickly, consistently, and once only. To address this desire, scripting and automation are often used as they provide a hyper consistent method to complete regularly occurring tasks. This chapter aims to walk through three of my most used scripts in the hope that they can also be useful to readers of this book. All the scripts featured in this chapter are written in PowerShell and operate or automate key pieces of a modern data warehouse, the SQL engine, Data Factory, and data lake.
