Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by consistently referencing SQL Server on Azure VM as the primary migration target, which is a Windows-centric deployment. There is no mention of Linux-based SQL Server deployments, nor are Linux-specific migration scenarios, readiness checks, or cost estimates discussed. The documentation omits examples or guidance for users migrating SQL Server instances running on Linux, and does not acknowledge Linux tools or patterns. All references to operating system support status focus on Windows support lifecycles.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit guidance and examples for SQL Server instances running on Linux, including migration scenarios to Azure SQL targets.
  • Include readiness and cost estimation details for Linux-based SQL Server deployments.
  • Mention Linux operating system support status in the supportability section, alongside Windows.
  • Reference Linux tools and patterns (e.g., Bash scripts, Linux-native monitoring/logging) where relevant.
  • Ensure parity in screenshots and step-by-step instructions for both Windows and Linux SQL Server sources.
