Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias by providing explicit instructions for creating a Windows Server virtual machine to host the self-hosted integration runtime (IR), without mentioning Linux as an alternative platform. The VM creation steps and image selection are Windows-centric, and there are no examples or guidance for deploying the self-hosted IR on Linux. This may lead users to assume that only Windows is supported or recommended, despite the fact that Data Factory self-hosted IR can run on Linux (with .NET Core).
Recommendations
  • Add parallel instructions for creating a Linux virtual machine (e.g., Ubuntu) in the Azure portal, including image selection and basic configuration.
  • Include guidance or links for installing and running the self-hosted IR on Linux, referencing official documentation or prerequisites (such as .NET Core).
  • Clarify in the VM creation section that both Windows and Linux are supported platforms for self-hosted IR, and provide a comparison or decision guidance.
  • Ensure that any firewall, DNS, or networking configuration steps are platform-agnostic or include notes for both Windows and Linux environments.
