Parameterize a notebook

[SarahDorich]

I was wondering if there's a way to parameterize a notebook similar to how the Papermill library allows you to parameterize Jupyter notebooks?

you can try with widgets:

Not exactly the same as Papermill but it works fine. You can pass the values from your job orchestration tool into a widget so the notebook gets executed with the correct values.

I use this a lot with Azure Data Factory.
