Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows machines and VMs for installing the Data Factory self-hosted integration runtime, both on-premises and in Azure. There are no examples or guidance for Linux-based installations, nor is there mention of Linux as a supported platform for the integration runtime. This may lead users to believe that only Windows environments are supported or recommended, despite the prevalence of Linux in Hadoop ecosystems.
Recommendations:
  • Explicitly mention that the Data Factory self-hosted integration runtime can be installed on Linux (if supported), and provide equivalent instructions and recommendations for Linux environments.
  • Include architecture diagrams and configuration examples that use Linux VMs or machines, especially given the commonality of Linux in Hadoop clusters.
  • When discussing VM sizing and scaling, provide example configurations for both Windows and Linux VMs.
  • Clarify authentication and credential management steps for Linux-based deployments, including any differences in setup or best practices.
  • If Linux is not supported for the integration runtime, clearly state this limitation early in the documentation to set expectations for users.
