+## Exclude Azure-SSIS integration runtimes from CI/CD
+
+If your development factory has Azure-SSIS integration runtime, you can exclude all Azure-SSIS Integration runtimes from CI/CD process in below scenario:
+
+- Azure-SSIS IR infrastructure is complex, and varies in each environment.  
+- Azure-SSIS IR is set up manually for each environment with the same name. Otherwise publish will fail if there is activity depending on Azure-SSIS IR.
+
+To exclude Azure-SSIS integration runtime:
+
+1. Add a publish_config.json file to the root folder in the collaboration branch, if not exists.
+1. Add below setting to publish_config.json: 
+
+```json
+{
+    " excludeIRs": "true"
+}
+```
+
+When publishing from the collaboration branch, Azure-SSIS integration runtimes will be excluded from the Resource Manager template generated.
+
 ## Hotfix production branch
 
 If you deploy a factory to production and realize there's a bug that needs to be fixed right away, but you can't deploy the current collaboration branch, you might need to deploy a hotfix. This approach is as known as quick-fix engineering or QFE.
