Integration runtime joins Activity and Linked services. It provides a compute environment to the Activity to process enlisted actions. Azure IR Self-Hosted Azure-SSIS Running Dataflows, data movement inside Azure Data movement from externally hosted systems To execute SSIS packages Azure data factory can be hosted in any azure region of Customer’s choice and IR location can be independent of ADF’s azure regions. Generally, IRs are hosted in the Azure region where data movement, activity dispatching etc. is required. IR behavior with AutoResolve Region in public network Time To Live TTL in Integration Runtime Auto resolve, Adhoc integration runtime clusters add a cluster acquisition time (approximately 4-5 mins) every time it spins up a new cluster for being used in a data flow. Thus it adds an additional compute setup time in total job time for dataflow execution, this behavior...
