Summary
The documentation exhibits a strong Windows bias. All installation and configuration instructions, including command-line actions and authentication setup, assume a Windows environment. PowerShell is the only scripting example provided, and references to Windows-specific tools (such as Local Security Policy, NT SERVICE accounts, and Visual Studio/SSDT) are prevalent. There are no Linux or cross-platform alternatives or examples, and no mention of support for running the self-hosted IR or related tools on Linux.
Recommendations
  • Clarify early in the documentation whether self-hosted IR and SSIS proxy features are supported on Linux or only on Windows. If Windows-only, state this explicitly.
  • If Linux is supported, provide equivalent installation, configuration, and authentication instructions for Linux environments, including command-line examples (e.g., Bash, shell scripts) and references to Linux service accounts and security policies.
  • Offer cross-platform alternatives to PowerShell scripts, such as Azure CLI or REST API examples.
  • Document where logs and configuration files are located on Linux, if applicable.
  • Mention any required dependencies or drivers for Linux, and provide download/installation instructions.
  • If Visual Studio/SSDT is required and only available on Windows, suggest alternative cross-platform development tools if available, or clarify the limitation.
  • Review all references to Windows-specific tools (e.g., Local Security Policy, NT SERVICE accounts) and provide Linux equivalents or note their absence.
