Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias primarily through the exclusive mention of Windows Server Failover Clusters and Cloud Witness for high availability and disaster recovery in Azure VMs. The referenced best practices and configuration links are for Windows-based SQL Server deployments, with no mention of Linux-based SQL Server or Linux clustering technologies. There are no examples, instructions, or references for Linux SQL Server instances, migration scenarios, or Linux-specific high availability/disaster recovery patterns. The Azure Hybrid Benefit section briefly mentions RHEL/SLES but does not provide parity in guidance or examples for Linux environments.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit instructions and examples for assessing and migrating SQL Server instances running on Linux (e.g., Ubuntu, RHEL, SLES) in VMware VMs.
  • Include references and links to best practices for running SQL Server on Linux in Azure VMs, such as performance guidelines and sizing recommendations.
  • Provide guidance for high availability and disaster recovery for Linux-based SQL Server deployments, including supported clustering technologies (e.g., Pacemaker, Linux witness options).
  • Ensure parity in migration scenarios and readiness checks for both Windows and Linux SQL Server instances.
  • Clarify Azure Hybrid Benefit applicability and licensing for Linux SQL Server environments, with concrete examples.
