Summary
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias in several ways. It references Windows-specific tools and patterns, such as Windows Server Failover Clusters and Cloud Witness, without mentioning Linux equivalents or alternatives. The linked best practices for VM sizing point to Windows-specific guidance. There are no examples or instructions for Linux-based SQL Server deployments, nor is there mention of Linux failover clustering or witness configurations. The Azure Hybrid Benefit section mentions RHEL and SLES, but the licensing and migration guidance is focused on Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Include explicit instructions and examples for assessing SQL Server instances running on Linux (e.g., Ubuntu, RHEL, SLES).
  • Reference Linux-specific clustering and high availability options, such as Pacemaker or Corosync, and provide links to relevant Azure documentation.
  • Add parity in guidance for witness configuration in failover clusters on Linux, such as using file share or cloud-based witnesses.
  • Ensure that VM sizing and performance best practices link to both Windows and Linux SQL Server documentation.
  • Clarify licensing and Azure Hybrid Benefit applicability for Linux SQL Server deployments, including any differences from Windows licensing.
