Summary
The documentation page shows a bias toward Windows environments. It references Windows Server Failover Clusters and Cloud Witness as recommended approaches for high availability in Azure VMs, with no mention of Linux clustering solutions or equivalent Linux tooling. The linked best practices for VM sizing point to Windows-specific guidance. There are no examples or instructions for Linux-based SQL Server deployments, nor any mention of Linux failover or high availability patterns. The Azure Hybrid Benefit section mentions RHEL and SLES, but only in the context of licensing, not operational guidance.
Recommendations
  • Include examples and guidance for assessing Linux-based SQL Server instances, such as those running on Ubuntu, RHEL, or SLES.
  • Provide parity in high availability and disaster recovery sections by mentioning Linux clustering solutions (e.g., Pacemaker, Corosync) and their configuration in Azure.
  • Add links to Linux-specific performance guidelines and best practices for running SQL Server on Azure VMs.
  • Where Windows tools or patterns are referenced (e.g., Cloud Witness, Windows Server Failover Clusters), add equivalent Linux options and describe their setup.
  • Ensure screenshots and walkthroughs are not exclusively Windows-centric; include Linux UI or CLI examples where relevant.
