Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in its guidance for deploying self-hosted Integration Runtime (IR) for Azure Data Factory. Specifically, it only mentions installing the IR on Windows VMs and provides configuration recommendations exclusively for Windows (e.g., Standard_D32s_v3 VM type). There are no examples, instructions, or references for deploying IR on Linux VMs or using Linux-based tools, despite the fact that Linux is a common platform for enterprise workloads. This may lead Linux users to believe that Windows is required for self-hosted IR, which is not accurate.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly mention that self-hosted Integration Runtime can be installed on both Windows and Linux VMs, if supported.
  • Provide step-by-step instructions or links for installing and configuring IR on Linux VMs.
  • Include Linux-specific best practices for monitoring and scaling IR (e.g., using Linux-native monitoring tools).
  • Offer example VM sizes and configurations for Linux, similar to the Windows VM recommendations.
  • Ensure that any references to OS-specific requirements or limitations are clearly stated.
