Summary
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific tools and patterns, such as Windows Server Failover Clusters and Cloud Witness, without mentioning Linux equivalents or providing Linux-specific guidance. The linked best practices and high availability sections focus on Windows, and there are no examples or instructions for Linux-based SQL Server deployments, nor mention of Linux failover clustering or witness options.
Recommendations
  • Include explicit instructions and examples for assessing SQL Server instances running on Linux, such as those deployed on RHEL, SLES, or Ubuntu.
  • Reference Linux clustering and high availability options (e.g., Pacemaker, Corosync) alongside Windows Server Failover Clusters.
  • Provide parity in guidance for witness configuration in Linux environments (e.g., using shared disks, file-based witness, or other Linux-supported mechanisms).
  • Add links to Linux-specific performance guidelines and best practices for SQL Server on Azure VMs.
  • Clarify where Azure Hybrid Benefit applies to Enterprise Linux subscriptions and provide examples for both Windows and Linux licensing scenarios.
