Summary
This documentation page exhibits strong Windows bias. All command-line examples use PowerShell, and the workflow assumes a Windows environment throughout. The installation of the self-hosted integration runtime is described only for Windows, with no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives. Windows-specific tools (SQL Server Management Studio, PowerShell, Notepad, C:\ paths) are referenced exclusively, and there are no Linux shell, Azure CLI, or cross-platform instructions. The documentation does not provide parity for Linux users or those using non-Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent instructions using Azure CLI and/or Bash shell for all steps, including resource creation, pipeline management, and monitoring.
  • Include guidance for installing and running the self-hosted integration runtime on Linux (where supported), or explicitly state platform limitations.
  • Offer SQL Server setup instructions using cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure Data Studio, sqlcmd) and avoid exclusive reliance on SQL Server Management Studio.
  • Use generic file paths and editors (e.g., ~/ADFv2Tutorial, nano, vi) alongside Windows examples.
  • Clearly indicate any steps or components that are Windows-only, and suggest alternatives or workarounds for Linux/macOS users.
  • Add a section or callouts for Linux/macOS users, outlining differences and providing links to relevant documentation.
