Microsoft Fabric Machine Learning Tutorial - Part 4 - Task Flows

In part 4 of this course Barry Smart, Director of Data and AI, walks through a demo showing how the new Task Flows feature in Microsoft Fabric can be applied. In this case, retro-fitting a suitable Task Flow to an existing project to show how it allows you to reinforce the specific architecture pattern you want to adopt and provide a means through which artefacts in a workspace can be better organised.

Barry begins the video by explaining the architecture that is being adopted in the demo and the Medallion Architecture that has been adopted. He shows how a work around has been applied by naming the artefacts in the workspace with a numerical prefix to help sort and group them according to the stages in the medallion architecture. He then demonstrates how the new Task Flow feature in Microsoft Fabric can overcome this workaround.

This forms part of an end to end demo of Microsoft Fabric that we will be providing as a series of videos over the coming weeks.
