Appendix B: Alternative to Azure Data Factory Exercises

Synopsis: The purpose of this exercise is to provide a “get out of jail free” card for the Azure Data Factory exercises. If you recall, the architecture of this workshop uses Azure Data Factory for two reasons: to copy data from an on-premises server and to score each row in that same file using the machine learning model that was created in Exercise 1. Therefore, this exercise will simply have you upload a file that has already been scored so you can continue with the remaining exercises. The file that is being uploaded is the same as the file that would result from completeing

1. Go to https://aka.ms/scoredfile. This will download a copy of the file that Azure Data Factory would have created in .
2. Once here, select Blobs from the storage account blade (while making sure Overview is selected in the storage account navigation area).
   
3. Select sparkcontainer in the next blade.
4. In the Upload Blob blade, click the folder button next to the Files input and select the file you downloaded in step 1 above.
5. Click the Upload button at the bottom of the blade.
