Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows machines and Windows VMs as hosts for the Data Factory self-hosted integration runtime, both on-premises and in Azure. There are no examples, instructions, or recommendations for deploying the integration runtime on Linux systems, nor any mention of Linux compatibility. The pricing section also explicitly excludes Azure Windows VM costs, implying Windows as the default platform. This focus may mislead users into thinking Linux is unsupported or suboptimal, despite the prevalence of Linux in Hadoop environments.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly mention that the Data Factory self-hosted integration runtime can be installed on Linux machines if supported, and provide instructions or links for Linux installation.
  • Include Linux-based examples and architectures, especially for environments where Hadoop clusters are already running on Linux.
  • Clarify platform compatibility in solution architecture diagrams and text, showing both Windows and Linux options for hosting the integration runtime.
  • Update pricing examples to include both Windows and Linux VM cost scenarios.
  • Add troubleshooting and best practices for Linux deployments, such as service management, firewall configuration, and performance monitoring.
