Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias primarily through its exclusive mention of Windows-specific tools and patterns, such as Windows Server Failover Clusters and Cloud Witness, without providing equivalent Linux guidance or examples. References to migration best practices link to Windows-specific documentation, and there are no Linux or cross-platform examples for high availability, disaster recovery, or licensing scenarios. The documentation also prioritizes Windows terminology and solutions, omitting Linux-specific migration considerations and tools.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Linux guidance for high availability and disaster recovery scenarios, such as using Pacemaker or Corosync clusters for SQL workloads on Linux VMs.
  • Include links to Linux-specific performance guidelines and best practices for running SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines (e.g., /azure/azure-sql/virtual-machines/linux/performance-guidelines-best-practices-checklist).
  • Provide examples and instructions for configuring SQL Server on Azure VM using Linux-based operating systems, including licensing and Azure Hybrid Benefit for RHEL/SLES.
  • Mention Linux-specific witness options (such as File Share Witness or other quorum solutions) for failover clusters.
  • Ensure parity in migration strategy descriptions by including Linux scenarios and clarifying where steps or recommendations differ for Linux-based SQL deployments.
