Summary:
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments, specifically Windows Server and Microsoft SQL Server Always On Availability Groups, which are only supported on Windows. All examples, prerequisites, and operational steps assume Windows Server Failover Clustering, with no mention of Linux-based SQL Server deployments or cross-platform considerations. Only Windows tools (SQL Server Management Studio, Windows Server Failover Cluster) are referenced, and all guidance is Windows-centric.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly state that SQL Server Always On Availability Groups are only supported on Windows, and clarify if Linux-based SQL Server deployments are out of scope for this guide.
- If Linux-based SQL Server high availability scenarios (such as Pacemaker clusters) are supported for migration to Azure VMware Solution, provide a parallel section or a separate guide for those scenarios.
- Where possible, mention the existence of SQL Server on Linux and its clustering options, even if only to clarify their support status.
- Include references or links to documentation for Linux-based SQL Server deployments and migration strategies, if applicable.
- If the migration process is fundamentally different for Linux, provide clear guidance or a pointer to relevant resources.
