I wanted to copy data files from Linux machine to Azure Blob Storage. I am using Azure Data Factory for this(as per the requirement). Can somebody plz help me how to install/ from where to get the Integration Runtime to install on that Linux machine.
Thanks
Azure Data Factory Integration Runtime (self hosted) is currently only available on windows (see system requirements at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39717).
You could use a Linux file share, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/connector-file-system for more details.

Is it possible to transfer files from remote file server to Azure Data Lake using Azure Data Factory.
As per my knowledge self-hosted IR would be helpful but i'm not sure where to configure the IR machine.
Help me guys if you have any idea.
Install IR on your remote server where you are getting the files from.
Follow the prerequisites provide in this official document to configure Self-hosted IR.
You can also refer Considerations for using a self-hosted IR document for more information on using Self-hosted IR.
We have Windows Server 2016 Azure Virtual Machines using managed disks.
I am trying to create an Azure Data Factory pipeline that will let me copy certain files from a folder on the hard drives of those VMs, to our Azure SQL Server. I was quite surprised to see no ADF connectors available for Azure VMs; then I checked Logic Apps - same issue, no available connectors for connecting to Azure VM's there either.
Then I did some Googling to find out how, in general, you can access an Azure VM file structure from outside (without using Remote Desktop) and was even more surprised to see that there isn't any info out there about this (not even that it can't be done).
Is it possible for me to access the file system of my Windows Server 2016 Azure VM without using Remote Desktop? The VM's are running Managed Disks if that makes any difference.
You can either ssh your_vm_ip and then use rsync command to download or upload files.
rsync -au --progress your_user_name#ip.ip.ip.ip:/remote_dir/remote_dir/ /local_dir/local_dir/
Otherwise you can install Dropbox in the VM and your local computer, transfering small files in the shared Dropbox folder is very fast..
Here are some instruction slides on the Azure storage system and their Storage Explorer App.
We have an on-premises MS-SQL Server where all the data is stored, which is also a backend for an application. From this on-premises server, we would like to copy data to Azure Data Lake using Data Factory service. This would require installation of Azure self-hosted integration runtime on application backend server.
Is there any other way, like, to create a standalone server for IR installation and use this IR for data copy activity from application backend to Data Lake?
I dont see a problem with that, you dont have to install it on the same server. Point number 3 talks about this:
The self-hosted integration runtime doesn't need to be on the same
machine as the data source. However, having the self-hosted
integration runtime close to the data source reduces the time for the
self-hosted integration runtime to connect to the data source. We
recommend that you install the self-hosted integration runtime on a
machine that differs from the one that hosts the on-premises data
source. When the self-hosted integration runtime and data source are
on different machines, the self-hosted integration runtime doesn't
compete with the data source for resources.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/create-self-hosted-integration-runtime#considerations-for-using-a-self-hosted-ir
Install IR on the on-premise machine and then configure it using Launch Configuration Manager. Doesn't need to be on the same machine as the data source. Details can be found here.
I have Installed Microsoft Integration Runtime configuration Manager When I have Migrated Data from On-Premise SQL Server to Azure Data Lake and when I'm trying to use for another Azure Data Factory I don't find a space to add new key for the data factory. How to do it.
Thanks in Advance
On the machine where your Integration Runtime is installed, you should have a file named:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Integration Runtime\3.0\PowerShellScript\RegisterIntegrationRuntime.ps1
Running it with your domain\username as your $credential and your Key1 from ADF as your $gatewayKey will result in a re-registration, binding your local IR process to the IR identity in your new Data Factory.

I cannot comment on Casper Lehmann's post, but I wanted to say that I tried running the script on PowerShell core (version 7.2.4) and it didn't work; however, in regular PowerShell (included in Windows) it works. Just FYI.
You can reuse an existing self-hosted integration runtime infrastructure that you already set up in a data factory. This enables you to create a linked self-hosted integration runtime in a different data factory by referencing an existing self-hosted IR (shared).
To share a self-hosted integration runtime by using PowerShell, see Create a shared self-hosted integration runtime in Azure Data Factory with PowerShell.
For a twelve-minute introduction and demonstration of this feature, watch the following video: Hybrid data movement across multiple Azure Data Factories.
For more details, refer "Sharing the self-hosted integration runtime with multiple data factories".
How would I deploy a linux VM to azure with custom data, in addition to using a VHD in my storage account as the OS disk?
In Azure Classic, I can add a custom data parameter to my deployment. See
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/virtual-machines-windows-classic-inject-custom-data.
So, my goal is to do the same in Azure Resource Manager. In addition, I'm just trying to provide custom data -- I'm not trying to run script through the Script Extension (which is Windows only..).
A series of PowerShell commands or an Azure Template are what I'm looking for.
This still works with ARM! (I'm using it in a Windows environment, from the Python SDK). A sample Azure Template for Linux is available here:
