Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias primarily through its exclusive references to Windows Server Failover Clusters, Cloud Witness, and Windows licensing (Azure Hybrid Benefit for Windows Server and SQL Server). High availability and disaster recovery sections only mention Windows-specific clustering and witness options, with no mention of Linux-based clustering or migration scenarios. There are no examples or guidance for Linux SQL Server instances, nor are Linux tools or patterns referenced. The documentation assumes Windows as the default environment for SQL Server migration and assessment.
Recommendations
  • Include explicit guidance and examples for assessing and migrating SQL Server instances running on Linux (e.g., SQL Server on Ubuntu, RHEL, SLES).
  • Reference Linux clustering and high availability options (such as Pacemaker, Corosync, or Linux witness configurations) in the high availability and disaster recovery sections.
  • Clarify Azure Hybrid Benefit applicability for Linux (RHEL/SLES) and provide parity in licensing and cost optimization guidance.
  • Add links to best practices for running SQL Server on Azure VMs with Linux OS, similar to the Windows performance guidelines referenced.
  • Ensure screenshots and UI instructions are not Windows-centric and mention any differences for Linux-based SQL Server deployments.
  • Provide troubleshooting and support status guidance for Linux operating systems in the assessment review sections.
