Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias by repeatedly specifying that the Data Factory self-hosted integration runtime must be installed on a Windows machine or VM, with no mention of Linux support or examples. Windows is presented as the default or only platform for hosting the integration runtime, and pricing estimates explicitly reference Azure Windows VMs. There are no Linux-based instructions, examples, or recommendations for running the integration runtime, nor is there guidance for Linux users who may wish to participate in Hadoop-to-Azure migrations.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state whether the Data Factory self-hosted integration runtime supports Linux, and if so, provide installation and configuration instructions for Linux hosts.
  • Include Linux-based examples and architectures alongside Windows, especially for environments where Hadoop clusters are commonly Linux-based.
  • Update pricing and scaling guidance to include Linux VM options and cost comparisons.
  • Clarify any platform-specific limitations or advantages (e.g., performance, security) for both Windows and Linux hosts.
  • Ensure that authentication and credential management sections address Linux scenarios (e.g., Kerberos on Linux, Linux service accounts).
