Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias by repeatedly specifying Windows as the required platform for installing the Data Factory self-hosted integration runtime, both on-premises and in Azure VMs. There are no examples or guidance for installing or running the integration runtime on Linux machines, nor is there mention of Linux-based alternatives. The pricing section also explicitly excludes the cost of Azure Windows VMs, reinforcing the assumption of Windows-only usage. No Linux-specific instructions, examples, or parity are provided.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state whether the Data Factory self-hosted integration runtime supports Linux, and if so, provide installation and configuration instructions for Linux environments.
- Include examples and architecture diagrams that show deployment on Linux VMs, both on-premises and in Azure.
- If Linux is not supported, clarify this limitation early in the documentation and provide rationale or roadmap information.
- In pricing and best practices sections, mention Linux VM options and compare their cost/performance to Windows VMs.
- Ensure authentication and credential management guidance covers Linux-specific scenarios (e.g., Kerberos on Linux, service principals, etc.).
- Add troubleshooting and operational guidance for Linux environments, if supported.
