[@SamoriAugusto]

Great video, Adam. One recommended change: I don't know if this happened after you created the video, but when you try to connect to the VM the first, you'll automatically be rejected until you modify the inbound rule (106) to Allow instead of Deny inbound traffic on 22 and 3389. That was a stopper for me in following this video, but then I got over it.

[@AdamMarczakYT]

Thanks Samori! Did you use the script I provided for the demo? Because it creates two Virtual Machines, one has port 1433 open for SQL connectivity only and purposely closed RDP one to simulate the on-premises. Second one for IR installation has only RDP (3389) open. For this example you don't need SSH port (22) open though. And script does all that unless something failed during execution, in any case glad you figured your issue out! :)

Thank you so much for clear and crisp video tutorial. Any guidance on capacity planning for self hosted integration runtimes? how to setup multiple instances of integration runtimes for load balancing and high availability.

[@AdamMarczakYT]

Maybe in the future but in general capacity planning depends on the type of workload you have. Best way is just to monitor the IRs and decide dynamically when you need more. HA is easy in this case, just get 2 VMs with premium storage in two separate AZ's and connect them as IR nodes.

Thank you for the video, it is great. I have a quick question about the vm, in the demo, you used Windows vm to install the integration run time agent, can it be installed on Linux VM as of April 2021, if not, by any chance you know it is on Azure's product roadmap to support later on?

IR only works on windows at this time. Unfortunately other than what's published on azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates?WT.mc_id=AZ-MVP-5003556 I can't share more as product roadmaps are under NDA.

[@sid0000009]

Hello Adam, I know its bit old video. Assuming we don't need any custom drivers - can we now use Azure IR instead of Self Hosted IR with Virtual Network enable feature in Azure IR? The Vnet would enable it to connect to on-prem resources using Express Route or other private Vnets. Thank you!

[@AdamMarczakYT]

That VNet integration for ADF is still in preview so I would hold off on that until it's in GA. At this time it's only designed for Azure services, it's not deploying in your VNet. It's separate managed Vnet only docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/managed-virtual-network-private-endpoint?WT.mc_id=AZ-MVP-5003556 so the video is still very much relevant. :)

Hi Adam , first of all thanking to you for great and quality contents your shared in this video , I have question , that I have excel files stored in personal PC and currently I have setup a Power BI on prem gateway already in to the same machine. What I was thinking is to migrate same workaround to store data from excel files to Azure DB instance , in that case I was looking to setup Self Hosted Runtime Integration into the same machine. Do you think which is not possible as you mentioned it in the video it is not good to have installed SHRI on same machine as Power BI gateway , If yes what are the problem we will face or difficulties we may concern about. Thank you in Advance.

Hi Adam. Thanks for sharing this. I have question related to the SQL servers which are in availability group. So that if primary server fails secondary will act as primary without any issue.
