Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows environments (VMware, Hyper-V, IIS) are mentioned first and most frequently, with little to no mention of Linux environments or tools. References to Windows Server Failover Clusters, Cloud Witness, and links to Windows-specific best practices are prevalent, while Linux equivalents (such as Pacemaker or Linux clustering) are absent. There are no examples or guidance for assessing or migrating Linux-based SQL Server instances, nor any mention of Linux-specific migration considerations. Powershell is referenced in links and tooling, but Linux command-line or automation options are not discussed.
Recommendations
- Add explicit support and examples for assessing and migrating SQL Server instances running on Linux (including RHEL, SLES, Ubuntu, etc.)
- Include references and links to Linux best practices for SQL Server on Azure VM, such as performance guidelines and clustering with Pacemaker.
- Provide parity in migration guidance for Linux environments, including steps for deploying the Azure Migrate appliance on Linux hosts.
- Mention Linux licensing and Azure Hybrid Benefit for Enterprise Linux subscriptions more prominently, with examples.
- Include Linux command-line (bash, shell) and automation options alongside Powershell references.
- Clarify which features and recommendations apply to both Windows and Linux SQL Server deployments, and highlight any differences.
