Integration runtime is a computational infrastructure that Azure Data Factory uses to deliver integration features, such as Data Flows and Data Movement, across various network settings. It can employ resources from public networks or hybrid settings (public and private networks).
There are three different types of integration runtimes-
i. Azure Integration Runtime- It is responsible for patching, scaling, and maintaining the underlying infrastructure.
ii. Self-Hosted Integration Runtime- It is similar to Azure Integration Runtime in terms of code, but it's installed on-premises systems or virtual machines across virtual networks.
iii. Azure SSIS Integration Runtime- It allows users to run SSIS packages in a controlled environment. You can use Azure SSIS Integration Runtime to lift and shift SSIS packages to the data factory.
