Is there a way to deploy Azure Data factory other than using ARM templates?

Question

I want to deploy my azure data factory using Azure DevOps. I have worked with the deployment using ARM templates with resource group deployment tasks during the release pipeline, but I want to know any other way for the ADF deployment apart from ARM templates?

The reason being that ARM templates deploy everything but I have lot of sample pipelines in my DEV environment which cant be deployed in other QA or Production. But ARM templates are restricting me to do so.

Answer 1

1. Terraform
2. Azure Powershell
3. Ansible resource module \\ Azure Cli \\ SDK's \\ Rest Api

Last one requires bit of creativity, you'd have to construct API call on your own.
