Summary
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows authentication, UNC paths, and Windows-centric tools (such as SQL Server Data Tools, SQL Server Management Studio, and the dtutil utility). All file path examples use Windows UNC syntax, and there are no Linux or cross-platform alternatives or examples. There is no mention of Linux-based authentication, file storage, or tooling, nor any guidance for users operating from non-Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-compatible examples for file paths (e.g., Azure Files mounted via SMB on Linux, or using Azure Blob Storage with SAS tokens).
  • Mention and, where possible, demonstrate authentication mechanisms that work on Linux (such as Azure AD authentication or SAS tokens) in addition to Windows authentication.
  • Reference cross-platform tools for package development and deployment, or clarify if certain steps require Windows-only tools (like SSDT or SSMS).
  • Explicitly state any platform limitations (e.g., if only Windows-based Azure-SSIS IR is supported, or if Linux is not supported for certain features).
  • Where possible, provide guidance or links for Linux users to set up and interact with Azure Data Factory and SSIS packages.
  • Include notes or examples for managing secrets and credentials using cross-platform methods (such as Azure CLI or REST APIs) instead of only GUI-based or Windows-centric approaches.
