Summary
The documentation exclusively uses PowerShell cmdlets (New-AzDataFactoryV2LinkedServiceEncryptedCredential, Set-AzDataFactoryV2LinkedService) and references DPAPI, which is a Windows-specific technology. All example commands are given in PowerShell, with no mention of Linux/macOS alternatives or cross-platform tools. Prerequisites specify PowerShell 7.0+, but do not clarify Linux/macOS support or provide bash/CLI examples. The documentation assumes a Windows environment for credential encryption and storage.
Recommendations
  • Clarify whether the cmdlets and DPAPI encryption are supported on Linux/macOS self-hosted integration runtime nodes.
  • If Linux/macOS are supported, provide equivalent examples using Azure CLI, bash, or other cross-platform tools.
  • Explicitly state platform limitations and provide guidance for Linux/macOS users if Windows is required.
  • If only Windows is supported, add a prominent note about platform requirements.
  • Consider referencing cross-platform credential storage/encryption patterns if available.
