Introduction
A Connection is the secure link between Kepion and an external system. It provides the running context and credentials required for integrations to execute successfully.
Once a connection is established, you can create one or multiple integrations using it. Here's a brief description of how they work together.
A Connection supplies the identity and security context.
An Integration defines the workflow you want to run (e.g., an ADF pipeline).
One connection can be reused by multiple integrations.
Navigation
Note: In order to set up this connection, you must have the System Admin permission in Kepion.
Go to System module > Automations > Connections.
You will arrive at the Connections node, where existing connections are listed and new ones can be created.
Add a connection
Currently, the supported connection type is Azure App Registration. Azure App Registrations (through Service Principals) are used as the secure identity for interacting with your Azure services, for example, an Azure Data Factory instance. They provide:
Secure access to only the resources you grant access to.
Automation so you can interact with your Azure services without manual sign-ins.
Audit trails to track activity for compliance and troubleshooting.
To create a connection:
Click the Add button.
The Type field defaults to Azure App Registration. (Other types may be available in the future.)
