re-deployment of linked services to datafactory

[Certain-Ambivalence]

Hi, I am including the linked services as part of CI pipeline using you Azure Data Factory deployment task and it is working well.

On the first pipeline un/release it creates the linked services in a new data factory which is great but the linked services in the target data factory use different resources with different credentials so if I update these in the target, they are then replaced to the source data factory settings when the pipeline next runs.

I don't see a way to handle this in the deployment task but it would be a neat feature to not reset these. As for the pipelines and datasets it's less of an issue.

Or is there a different way to handle this besides just removing the linked services deployment from the pipeline for any subsequent builds/runs?

thanks

Thanks for your feedback and indeed the default behavior is to overwrite all content. And there is no option to alter that, but it is a good enhancement to only deploy new artifacts.
