Hi Team,

Right now we have a new concept of the VM Scale set:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machine-scale-sets/overview

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/create-self-hosted-integration-runtime?tabs=data-factory
Can we install SHIR on Virtual Mahine Scale set?
As of now we don't have any MS documentation for this, Do we have any plans for this feature in future or any ETA for this?

    Hello @florentpousserot131313,

    Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to host self-hosted IR on Virtual Machine Scale Sets.

    Note: A self-hosted integration runtime can be associated with multiple on-premises machines or Virtual Machines in Azure. These machines are called nodes. You can have up to four nodes associated with a self-hosted integration runtime.

    For more details, refer “Considerations for using a self-hosted IR”.

    This feedback has been declined by the product team - which means the feature will be not available forever.

    Allow Self-hosted Integration Runtime to be installed on Virtual Machine Scale Set (VMSS)

    Hope this will help. Please let us know if any further queries.

    We have managed to do this, via VMSS extensions and install scripts. There is quite a lot of dynamic configuration you need to do but it is possible.
