What is Integration Runtime?
Integration Runtime is the computation infrastructure used by Azure Data Factory and Azure Synapse pipelines for data movements from On-premise (Private network: Can be a shared network drive, SQL server, or any sort of private data storage device) to cloud or cloud-to-cloud.
Activities that can be performed using the IRs are:
- Copy data
- Transform data
- Execute activities
And it can be from cloud to cloud, on-prem to on-prem, on-prem to cloud, and cloud to on-prem.
What is Azure Integration Runtime?
Azure Integration Runtime:
- Here all the hardware and infrastructure are managed by the Microsoft team, you just have to pay as per your usage
- It can only access the data stored in public network
- You can create it specifically region wise, to ensure that the data stays in the certain mentioned regions only
Transformations that can be done:
- Copy between cloud stores
- Transform data between clouds
- Execute Activities using cloud and linked services

- The last step is to give a proper name, select the region as per your requirement and press create, all the billing will be as per your usage
What is Self-Hosted Integration Runtime?
Self-hosted Integration Runtime:
- Here all the hardware and infrastructure are managed by an Individual
- Individuals take care of scaling, installation patching, etc
- It can access resources in both public and private networks
Transformations that can be done:
- Copy data between cloud and on-premises stores
- Copy data between on-premises stores
- Execute activities using on-premises stores and linked services
To read more in detail refer to the official documentation.
How to create a Self-hosted runtime?
- Go to the manage section of your ADF and select integration runtime and create a new one
- Once you will click New, you will be able to choose an option like azure, or self-hosted, select the self-hosted option
