How to see thee techincal specifications of Auto Resolved Integration Runtime in Azure Data Factory

Question

Hi Mr/Mrs,

I read the documents about Auto Resolved Integration Runtime in Azure Data Factory.

For examples, a small Auto Resolved Integration Runtime has 4 worker cores and 4 driver cores. How can I check the technical specifications (CPU, RAM) for Auto Resolved Integration Runtime? What is the technical specifications of each worker core and driver core?

Thanks!

Hi @Tu Nguyen
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A platform and thanks for posting your question here.

Technical Specifications of Auto Resolved Integration Runtime in Azure Data Factory

As of now, Azure documentation does not provide detailed information about the technical specifications of each worker core and driver core for Auto Resolved Integration Runtime. I can provide some general information about worker cores and driver cores in Azure Data Factory.

Worker Cores and Driver Cores

Worker cores are responsible for executing data integration activities, such as copying data from source to destination. The number of worker cores determines the maximum number of activities that can run concurrently. Driver cores are responsible for managing the execution of activities and coordinating the communication between worker cores. 

Technical Specifications

The number of driver cores determines the maximum number of concurrent activities that can be managed.

The technical specifications of worker cores and driver cores depend on the virtual machine (VM) size that you choose for the integration runtime. You can choose from a range of VM sizes with different specifications, such as CPU, RAM, and storage.

To check the technical specifications of Auto Resolved Integration Runtime in Azure Data Factory, you can use the Azure PowerShell cmdlet Get-AzDataFactoryV2IntegrationRuntime. 

This cmdlet returns different information for different types of integration runtime, including the Auto Resolved Integration Runtime.

The cmdlet does not provide information about the technical specifications of each worker core and driver core. The technical specifications of worker cores and driver cores depend on the virtual machine (VM) size that you choose for the integration runtime. You can choose from a range of VM sizes with different specifications, such as CPU, RAM, and storage.

Example

For example, a small Auto Resolved Integration Runtime has 4 worker cores and 4 driver cores. If you choose the Standard_DS3_v2 VM size for your Auto Resolved Integration Runtime, each worker core has 2.4 GHz CPU and 14 GB RAM, and each driver core has 2.4 GHz CPU and 7 GB RAM.
