You Should Know:

Key Features of Microsoft Purview SDK

  1. Automated Data Classification – Scan and classify sensitive data across hybrid environments.
  2. Metadata Management – Extract and manage metadata for better data lineage tracking.

3. Policy Enforcement – Apply compliance policies programmatically.

  1. Integration Flexibility – Works with Azure, AWS, and on-premises data sources.

Practice-Verified Commands & Steps

1. Installing the Microsoft Purview SDK

 Install via PowerShell (Windows) 
Install-Module -Name Microsoft.Purview -AllowPrerelease -Force

2. Authenticating with Azure

 Login via Azure CLI (Linux/macOS) 
az login 
az account set --subscription "Your-Subscription-ID"

3. Scanning a Data Source

 Python Example using Purview SDK 
from azure.purview.scanning import PurviewScanningClient 
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

credential = DefaultAzureCredential() 
client = PurviewScanningClient(endpoint="https://your-purview-account.purview.azure.com", credential=credential)

scan_result = client.scans.run_scan( 
data_source_name="AzureBlobStorage", 
scan_name="SensitiveDataScan", 
scope="https://storageaccount.blob.core.windows.net/container" 
) 
print(scan_result)

4. Checking Scan Results

 Using Azure CLI to check scan status 
az purview scan show --account-name YourPurviewAccount --data-source-name AzureBlobStorage --scan-name SensitiveDataScan

5. Exporting Classification Reports

 Export to CSV via PowerShell 
Get-PurviewClassificationReport -OutputFormat CSV -Path "C:\Reports\classification.csv"

What Undercode Say

The Microsoft Purview SDK is a game-changer for enterprises managing large-scale data governance. By automating data discovery and compliance, it reduces manual overhead and minimizes human error.
