Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Azure PowerShell for prerequisites, instructing users to edit the Windows hosts file, and guiding installation of the self-hosted integration runtime on an Azure VM without specifying OS type (implicitly Windows). There are no Linux or cross-platform alternatives provided for key steps such as uploading files, configuring network settings, or installing/running the integration runtime. Windows tools and patterns are mentioned exclusively and first, with no parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux equivalents for all steps involving Azure PowerShell, such as using Azure CLI or Bash scripts.
  • Include instructions for editing the hosts file on Linux (e.g., /etc/hosts) alongside the Windows path.
  • Clarify that the self-hosted integration runtime can be installed on Linux VMs, and provide installation steps for Linux.
  • Offer cross-platform examples for uploading Hive scripts to Blob Storage (e.g., using azcopy, Azure CLI, or Storage Explorer on Linux).
  • Explicitly state OS requirements and options for each step, ensuring parity for Linux and macOS users.
  • Where possible, use platform-neutral language and tools, or provide side-by-side instructions for Windows and Linux.
