Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias in its guidance for deploying self-hosted Integration Runtime (IR) for Azure Data Factory. It exclusively recommends installing IR on Azure Windows VMs, with no mention of Linux support or examples. All VM sizing and scaling advice is Windows-specific, and there are no instructions or references for deploying IR on Linux or macOS environments. This creates friction for users who prefer or require Linux-based infrastructure.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state whether self-hosted IR supports Linux VMs, and if so, provide equivalent instructions for Linux deployment.
  • Include Linux VM sizing recommendations alongside Windows examples.
  • Offer guidance on monitoring and scaling IR on Linux VMs.
  • If IR is Windows-only, clarify this limitation early in the documentation and suggest alternatives for Linux users where possible.
  • Add troubleshooting and best practices sections relevant to Linux environments.
