The Azure Synapse Studio is a one-stop-shop for all your data engineering and analytics development, from data exploration to data integration to large scale data analysis. On the Home hub of the Studio, you can easily begin loading data, extracting insights, building interactive reports with Power BI and accessing learning resources in the Knowledge Center to quickly get started with Azure Open Datasets, one-click tutorials, and virtual tours.  

 

Data Hub

The Data hub houses all workspace databases and allows you to link to external and integration datasets as well as the various sample Azure Open Datasets in the Gallery. Add Azure Open Datasets to access sample data on COVID-19, public safety, transportation, economic indicators, and more. The datasets will automatically added to the Data hub under the “Linked” tab and then “Azure Blog Storage.” With the click of a button, you can then run sample scripts to select the top 100 rows and create an external table or you can also create a new notebook.

The “Workspace” and “Linked” tabs provide a simple way to organize your databases and analytical stores—for both SQL and Spark. The “Workspace” tab shows your SQL and Spark databases created and managed with your Synapse workspace. The “Linked” tab shows connected services ready for in-place analytics, such as data from your operational store in Azure Cosmos DB.
