Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias primarily through its exclusive mention of Windows-specific tools and patterns, such as Windows Server Failover Clusters and Cloud Witness, without referencing Linux equivalents. The linked best practices and configuration guides are for Windows, and there are no examples or guidance for Linux-based SQL deployments. Linux licensing (RHEL/SLES) is mentioned only as an aside in the context of Azure Hybrid Benefit, and there are no instructions or examples for Linux SQL Server migration scenarios.
Recommendations
  • Include examples and guidance for assessing and migrating SQL Server instances running on Linux (e.g., Ubuntu, RHEL, SLES).
  • Reference Linux-specific high availability and disaster recovery options, such as Pacemaker clusters, and provide links to relevant Azure documentation.
  • Add parity in documentation for storage, VM sizing, and performance guidelines for Linux-based SQL Server on Azure VMs.
  • Ensure that migration strategies and readiness reports explicitly address Linux SQL Server scenarios, including licensing and support status.
  • Provide links to Linux best practices for SQL Server on Azure, similar to those given for Windows.
