Process Automation Approaches on Azure

2022-01-05 azureazure-functions

There are several typical ways to automate processes on Azure:

  • Azure Automation Account runbooks (PowerShell or Python)
  • Azure Functions (with triggers or schedules)
  • Azure Logic App (Power Automate is built on top of it)
  • Azure App Service WebJobs

For differences, refer to this article: Choose the right integration and automation services in Azure.

For data processes, you can use many other tools like Azure Data Factory, Databricks, etc.
