# Load Data from Azure Data Factory (ADF)

SingleStore can be configured as a “Linked service” in Azure Data Factory (ADF), which allows it to be used as a source or sink for ETL data flows.

## Prerequisites

This integration supports SingleStore version 7.1 and later.

You will also need an Azure account with access to ADF.

## Create an ADF Factory and Add a SingleStore Datasource

1. Open the ADF main page. In the search bar, enter "Data factories", and then select "Data factories" from the drop down list. You will be taken to the Data factories page.

2. Click **Create new factory** on the Data factories page.

3. On the **Basics** tab on the Create Data Factory page, click **Create new** and create a new resource group.

4. Click **Next: Git configuration** to move to the **Git configuration** tab.

5. Configure your Git repo or click **Configure Git later**.

6. Continue through the tabs (you may need to wait for validation) until you get to the **Review + create** tab. Review your settings and click **Create**.

7. Once your data factory is deployed, click **Go to resource**.

8. In your Data factory window, click **Author & Monitor** (near the center of the page).

9. Open the **Manage** tab, click **Linked services** on the left, and then click **+ New**.

10. In the "New linked service" window, search for and select "Azure Database for MySQL".

11. Enter your database connection info and credentials, then click **Test connection**.

12. If your connection is successful, click **Create**.

You’ve created a connection to SingleStore, which can be used in ADF activities as a data source or data sink.
