Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific SQL Server features (e.g., Always On availability groups, Failover Clustering) and linking primarily to Windows documentation. Examples and instructions (such as PowerShell scripts and Task Manager usage) are Windows-centric, with no mention of Linux equivalents or guidance for SQL Server on Linux. There are no Linux-specific disaster recovery instructions, tools, or examples, and Windows terminology and tools (e.g., Task Manager, PowerShell) are used exclusively.
Recommendations
  • Include explicit guidance and examples for SQL Server running on Linux, such as using Pacemaker for high availability and disaster recovery.
  • Provide Linux-specific instructions for monitoring disk write rates (e.g., using iostat or atop) instead of referencing Windows Task Manager.
  • Offer PowerShell alternatives for Linux environments, such as Bash scripts or Ansible playbooks, for automation steps.
  • Link to SQL Server on Linux documentation for features like Always On availability groups, and clarify any differences in setup or failover procedures.
  • Add parity in screenshots and walkthroughs for Linux-based deployments, including cluster setup and failover testing.
  • Clearly state platform-specific limitations or differences in Azure Site Recovery support for SQL Server on Linux.
