Hosting SSIS packages in ADF
ADF supports hosting SSIS packages on dedicated compute resources, which means you can now lift and shift existing SSIS workloads to Azure.
To support the execution of SSIS packages in Azure, you must first provision an Azure-SSIS Integration Runtime (IR) to natively execute SSIS packages. The Azure-SSIS IR is a fully managed cluster of Azure virtual machines (VMs) dedicated to running your SSIS packages. Your Azure-SSIS IR can be scaled up by specifying the node size and can be scaled out by specifying the number of nodes in the cluster. You can also manage the cost of running the Azure-SSIS IR by stopping and starting the Azure-SSIS IR based on your workload demands.
Optionally, you can use Azure SQL Database server with a virtual network service endpoint or an Azure SQL Database managed instance to host the SSIS catalog database. A prerequisite for using ADF-hosted SSIS packages to query data sources within your on-premises network is to attach...
