Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias in several ways: Windows environments (VMware, Hyper-V, IIS) are mentioned first and most prominently; migration scenarios and best practices are linked to Windows-specific resources; high availability and disaster recovery guidance focuses on Windows Server Failover Clusters and Cloud Witness, with no mention of Linux clustering or witness options; and example links and references (such as performance guidelines and cluster configuration) are exclusively for Windows, with no Linux equivalents or examples provided. There are no Linux-specific migration scenarios, tools, or guidance, and Linux SQL Server deployments are not addressed.
Recommendations
  • Include explicit examples and guidance for assessing and migrating SQL Server instances running on Linux (e.g., Ubuntu, RHEL, SLES).
  • Add links to Azure SQL performance guidelines and best practices for Linux-based SQL Server deployments.
  • Provide parity in high availability and disaster recovery guidance, including Linux clustering solutions (e.g., Pacemaker) and witness options.
  • Mention and document Linux-based migration tools and patterns alongside Windows tools (e.g., shell scripts, Linux agents, Linux-native backup/restore).
  • Ensure that references to PowerShell are balanced with Bash or shell script examples for Linux environments.
  • Clarify which features and recommendations apply to both Windows and Linux, and highlight any differences.
