Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by consistently referencing Windows-specific technologies (such as Windows Server Failover Clusters, IIS, and Windows licensing), providing links and examples that focus on Windows environments, and omitting equivalent Linux scenarios, tools, or migration guidance. There are no Linux/Powershell-neutral or Linux-specific examples, and Linux migration patterns (e.g., SQL Server on Linux, Linux-based HA/DR) are not addressed. Windows terminology and tooling are mentioned exclusively or before any Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit guidance and examples for SQL Server instances running on Linux, including migration steps and readiness checks for Linux-based environments.
  • Include references and links to best practices for SQL Server on Linux in Azure VMs, alongside the existing Windows-focused links.
  • Document Linux licensing and Azure Hybrid Benefit scenarios (e.g., RHEL/SLES) with equal detail as Windows licensing.
  • Provide parity in high availability and disaster recovery guidance, covering Linux clustering solutions (e.g., Pacemaker) and their configuration in Azure.
  • Ensure that migration strategies and assessment logic are described for both Windows and Linux SQL Server deployments, not just Windows-first scenarios.
  • Where PowerShell or Windows tools are referenced, also mention Linux equivalents (e.g., Bash scripts, CLI commands) for appliance deployment and migration operations.
