This week at Ignite, we announced new capabilities in Azure Data Factory (ADF) service available in public preview for customers. Azure user preview terms of use can be found here. SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) customers can easily lift their SSIS packages into the cloud using new managed SSIS hosting capabilities in Data Factory. This can be achieved by utilizing a new feature called “Integration Runtimes” (IR). By spinning-up an SSIS IR in Azure Data Factory, you will have the ability to execute, manage, monitor and deploy SSIS packages in the cloud. Get started now by visiting this step-by-step instructional tutorial on how to leverage Azure Data Factory to provision an SSIS service where you can deploy, manage and monitor your SSIS packages in the cloud.
