Summary
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias by providing explicit instructions and examples for creating a Windows Server virtual machine to host the self-hosted integration runtime (IR), without mentioning or providing equivalent steps for Linux-based VMs. The only operating system referenced for the IR host is Windows, and there are no Linux-specific instructions, examples, or considerations. This may lead users to believe that only Windows is supported or recommended, even though Data Factory self-hosted IR can run on Linux (with .NET Core).
Recommendations
  • Add instructions and examples for creating a Linux-based VM (e.g., Ubuntu) to host the self-hosted IR, including image selection and any required configuration.
  • Explicitly state OS requirements and support for self-hosted IR, clarifying that both Windows and Linux are supported.
  • Provide parity in step-by-step guides for both Windows and Linux environments, including firewall/NSG configuration and IR installation.
  • Include notes or links to Linux-specific troubleshooting and best practices.
  • Where relevant, mention cross-platform tools and commands, not just Windows-centric options.
