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, without mentioning Linux as an option. All architectural diagrams and implementation steps reference Windows VMs exclusively, and the pricing section explicitly excludes Azure Windows VM costs, implying Windows is the default or only supported platform. There are no examples or guidance for deploying the integration runtime on Linux, nor any mention of Linux-specific considerations, tools, or patterns.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state whether the Data Factory self-hosted integration runtime supports Linux, and if so, provide equivalent instructions and examples for Linux deployments.
  • Include architectural diagrams and implementation steps that show both Windows and Linux VM options for hosting the integration runtime.
  • Update pricing examples to include both Windows and Linux VM cost scenarios, or clarify platform support.
  • Where authentication or system integration is discussed (e.g., Kerberos), clarify any platform-specific differences and provide Linux configuration guidance.
  • Add troubleshooting and best practices sections for Linux environments, if supported.
  • If Linux is not supported, clearly document this limitation and provide rationale or roadmap information.
