Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by consistently referencing Windows-based SQL Server deployments, migration strategies, and best practices. It exclusively links to Windows-specific guidance (such as performance guidelines for SQL Server on Azure VMs running Windows), omits Linux-based SQL Server migration scenarios, and does not provide examples or recommendations for SQL Server on Linux or cross-platform migration tools. There are no Linux-specific instructions, nor any mention of PowerShell or CLI examples, but the overall guidance assumes a Windows environment.
Recommendations
  • Include explicit guidance and examples for migrating SQL Server instances running on Linux to Azure targets.
  • Reference and link to Azure SQL migration best practices for Linux-based VMs, not just Windows.
  • Add parity in documentation for storage and compute sizing for SQL Server on Linux VMs.
  • Mention cross-platform migration tools (such as Azure CLI, azdata, or SQL Server tools available on Linux) alongside any Windows-specific tools.
  • Clarify whether recommendations and assessment logic apply equally to SQL Server on Linux, and note any differences.
  • Provide sample migration steps or scripts for Linux environments, where applicable.
