Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows Server and SQL Server licenses, and by linking to Windows-specific resources (e.g., SQL IaaS Agent extension documentation for Windows). There are no examples, instructions, or mentions of Linux-based SQL Server deployments, nor any guidance for managing Azure Hybrid Benefit for SQL Server on Linux VMs. Windows terminology and tools are used throughout, with no Linux parity.
Recommendations
  • Include explicit guidance and examples for SQL Server on Linux VMs, such as how to register Linux-based SQL Server instances with Azure for Hybrid Benefit.
  • Reference and link to documentation for the SQL IaaS Agent extension on Linux, if available, or clarify its applicability.
  • Add notes or sections describing any differences or limitations for Linux-based deployments in the context of Azure Hybrid Benefit.
  • Ensure that terminology and instructions are platform-neutral where possible, or provide parallel instructions for both Windows and Linux environments.
  • Clarify whether the Azure Hybrid Benefit applies equally to SQL Server on Linux and, if not, specify the limitations.
