Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows tools and patterns (such as Windows Server Failover Clusters, Cloud Witness, and PowerShell) are mentioned exclusively or before Linux equivalents. References to migration best practices and sizing link to Windows-specific documentation, and examples or guidance for Linux-based SQL Server deployments (such as on RHEL or SLES) are missing. The documentation assumes Windows environments as the default and does not provide parity for Linux scenarios.
Recommendations
- Include explicit examples and guidance for assessing and migrating SQL Server instances running on Linux (RHEL, SLES, Ubuntu, etc.), including configuration, performance data collection, and migration steps.
- Provide links to Linux-specific best practices for SQL Server on Azure VMs, similar to those given for Windows.
- Mention and describe Linux clustering and high availability options (such as Pacemaker, Corosync, or Linux witness options) alongside Windows Server Failover Clusters.
- Add PowerShell alternatives for Linux (such as Bash scripts or Azure CLI commands) where relevant.
- Ensure references to documentation (such as performance guidelines) include both Windows and Linux versions, or clarify applicability.
- Review all default settings and recommendations to ensure they are not Windows-centric and are equally applicable to Linux environments.
