Preventing Concurrent Pipeline Execution in Azure Data Factory

Dave Ruijter and Laura de Bruin want to prevent concurrent runs of a pipeline:

For scheduled triggers, there is nothing out-of-the-box that can help you to prevent concurrent pipeline runs. For tumbling window triggers there is a maxConcurrency property, but keep in mind that this will create a queue/backlog of pipeline runs. It will not cancel any pipeline runs. It depends on your use case if you really want that behavior. 

Instead, the two look at a pair of designs and this post is all about the first one.
