Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. It references Windows-specific tools and patterns, such as Windows Server Failover Clusters and Cloud Witness, and links to Windows-focused best practices. There are no Linux-specific examples, instructions, or equivalent tooling mentioned for Linux SQL Server deployments. The Azure Hybrid Benefit section briefly mentions RHEL and SLES, but the overall tutorial and high availability guidance are Windows-centric, with no parity for Linux scenarios.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit guidance and examples for assessing and migrating SQL Server instances running on Linux VMs, including screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
  • Include references to Linux-specific high availability and disaster recovery patterns, such as Pacemaker clusters or Linux-based witness options.
  • Provide links to Azure SQL performance guidelines and best practices for Linux, not just Windows.
  • Clarify where features or recommendations differ for Linux-based SQL Server deployments, especially in areas like licensing, storage, and failover.
  • Ensure parity in documentation structure, so Linux users can follow equivalent steps and understand any platform-specific caveats.
