Apache Cassandra is a popular open-source, distributed NoSQL database. Setting up a linked service for an Apache Cassandra source requires you to perform the following tasks:

  1. Create an Azure Function using an App Service Plan

  2. Assign managed identity access for an Azure function to ADLS

  3. Configure Managed Identity Access for ADF Pipelines

  4. Configure Azure Function Access to Cassandra Secret Using Azure Key Vault

  5. Create an Azure function linked service for Cassandra

These tasks enable an Azure Function to access Apache Cassandra securely and be orchestrated within Azure Data Factory (ADF).
