The Azure-SSIS Integration Runtime is a fully managed cluster of Azure VMs dedicated to run your SSIS packages. You can bring your own Azure SQL Database or SQL Managed Instance for the catalog of SSIS projects/packages (SSISDB).
To lift and shift existing SSIS workload, you can create an Azure-SSIS IR to natively execute SSIS packages.
An Azure-SSIS IR supports:
- Running packages deployed into SSIS catalog (SSISDB) hosted by Azure SQL Database server/Managed Instance (Project Deployment Model)
- Running packages deployed into file system, Azure Files, or SQL Server database (MSDB) hosted by Azure SQL Managed Instance (Package Deployment Model)
After an Azure-SSIS IR is provisioned, you can use familiar tools to deploy and run your packages in Azure.
It is recommended that you create the database server in the same Azure region as the integration runtime. This configuration lets the integration runtime write execution logs into SSISDB without crossing Azure regions.
- Based on the selected database server, the SSISDB instance can be created on your behalf as a single database, as part of an elastic pool, or in a managed instance. It can be accessible in a public network or by joining a virtual network.
- If you use an Azure SQL Database server with IP firewall rules/virtual network service endpoints or a managed instance with private endpoint to host SSISDB, or if you require access to on-premises data without configuring a self-hosted IR, you need to join your Azure-SSIS IR to a virtual network.
- Confirm that the Allow access to Azure services setting is enabled for the database server. This setting is not applicable when you use an Azure SQL Database server with IP firewall rules/virtual network service endpoints or a managed instance with private endpoint to host SSISDB.
- Add the IP address of the client machine, or a range of IP addresses that includes the IP address of the client machine, to the client IP address list in the firewall settings for the database server.
- You can connect to the database server by using SQL authentication with your server admin credentials, or by using Azure AD authentication with the specified system/user-assigned managed identity
- Confirm that your database server does not have an SSISDB instance already. The provisioning of an Azure-SSIS IR does not support using an existing SSISDB instance.
Prerequisites:
- Azure subscription.
- Azure SQL Database server or managed instance (optional).
- Az.Synapse Module
Create Azure SSIS IR in Azure Synapse using "Az.Synapse" module -

Example: Below example is to import module "Az.Synapse" & create a Azure SSIS IR in Synapse workspace.
PS C:\Users\MyUser> Import-Module Az.Synapse
WARNING: The names of some imported commands from the module 'Az.Synapse' include unapproved verbs that might make them less discoverable. To find the commands with unapproved verbs, run the Import-Module command again with the Verbose parameter. For a list of approved
verbs, type Get-Verb.
