This pipeline can be scheduled as a whole to make orchestration, pipeline management, and monitoring much easier. However, this requires users to map their existing datasets from DataPrep 1.0 to pipelines so that we can groups the datasets together and show as pipelines. Here's a detailed view on what 2.0 offers
