Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias by repeatedly specifying or implying the use of Windows machines for installing the Data Factory self-hosted integration runtime, without mentioning Linux as an alternative. All architecture diagrams and implementation instructions refer to Windows VMs, and the pricing section explicitly excludes only 'Azure Windows VM' costs, reinforcing the perception that Windows is the default or only supported platform. There are no examples or guidance for Linux-based hosts, nor any mention of Linux-specific considerations or parity.
Recommendations:
  • Explicitly state that the Data Factory self-hosted integration runtime can be installed on both Windows and Linux, if supported.
  • Provide parallel instructions and architecture diagrams for deploying the integration runtime on Linux machines (both on-premises and in Azure).
  • Include Linux-specific best practices, such as recommended VM sizes, scaling guidance, and monitoring tools.
  • Update authentication and credential management sections to mention any Linux-specific configuration steps or Kerberos integration nuances.
  • In pricing and implementation examples, include Linux VM cost estimates and performance considerations.
  • Wherever a Windows VM is referenced, add 'or Linux VM' to ensure parity and inclusivity.
