Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, specifically Windows Server Failover Clustering and SQL Server on Windows. All examples, prerequisites, and migration steps assume the use of Windows Server and Windows-based SQL Server deployments. There are no references to Linux-based SQL Server deployments, nor are there any instructions or considerations for Linux environments. Tools and procedures mentioned (such as SQL Server Management Studio, Windows Server Failover Cluster, and Windows-specific witness types) are all Windows-centric.
Recommendations
- Add explicit mention of whether Linux-based SQL Server Always On Availability Groups are supported or not in Azure VMware Solution, and if so, provide equivalent migration steps.
- Include examples and migration steps for SQL Server Always On Availability Groups running on Linux (e.g., RHEL, Ubuntu) if supported.
- Reference Linux-based tools (such as sqlcmd, Azure Data Studio, or command-line utilities) alongside SQL Server Management Studio.
- Discuss quorum and witness configuration for Linux clusters (e.g., using Pacemaker) if applicable.
- Clarify any prerequisites or limitations for Linux-based SQL Server deployments in Azure VMware Solution.
- If Linux is not supported, explicitly state this early in the documentation to set expectations.
