Azure Data Factory and Synapse Analytics provides new tabbed layout UI to setup of Azure Integration Runtime

Now Microsoft Azure Data Factory & Synapse Analytics provides Clean & Simple new tabbed layout UI to create/edit Azure Integration Runtime.

This new tabbed UI makes it easy and simple to create/edit the Azure Integration Runtime. This new UI layout is available both in Azure Data Factory and Azure Synapse.

New Tabbed UI for Azure Integration Setup

There are 3 integration runtime in Azure:

  1. Azure: Perform data flows, data movement and dispatch activities to external compute.
  2. Self-hosted: Use this for running activities in an on-premises / private network
  3. Azure-SSIS: Lift-and-shift existing SSIS packages to execute in Azure.

This new UI is specific to Azure Integration Runtime.

How to navigate to this UI? Step by Step – –

To go to this new UI, please follow below steps: Please refer below image —

  1. Click on Manage at left side
  2. Click on ‘Integration runtime’ under ‘connections’ (in ADF) or under ‘Integration’ ( in synapse)
  3. Click on ‘+ New’

Next we can see below new ‘Integration runtime setup ‘ with 3 new tab. These tabs are:

  1. Settings : This Azure integration runtime connects to data source/destination or external compute in public network & it is elastic in nature in terms of resource allocation for activities.
  2. Virtual Network: To provision Integration Runtime inside VNet.
  3. Data Flow Runtime: This tab is to create cluster for data transformation

Settings Tab: Here ‘Type‘ is selected as ‘Azure’ as we selected to create Azure Integration Runtime. Region is Auto Resolve as default. But we can choose a specific region as required. Please refer above image.

Virtual Network: Enabling Managed Virtual Network ensures that the Azure Integration Runtime compute is provisioned within it, and can access data securely using Private Endpoints. Please refer below image.
