missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by repeatedly specifying or recommending the installation of the Data Factory self-hosted integration runtime on Windows machines or Windows VMs, without mentioning Linux as an alternative. There are no examples or guidance for deploying the integration runtime on Linux, and all architectural diagrams and best practices assume a Windows environment. The pricing section also references Azure Windows VMs exclusively. No Linux-specific tools, commands, or deployment patterns are discussed.
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 examples for deploying and managing the integration runtime on Linux machines/VMs.
- Update architectural diagrams and best practices to include both Windows and Linux deployment options.
- Include pricing examples for both Windows and Linux VMs.
- Where authentication or credential management differs between platforms, document those differences.
- If there are platform-specific limitations or recommendations, clearly outline them for both Windows and Linux.
