Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias primarily by referencing Windows-specific tools and patterns, such as Windows Server Failover Clusters and Cloud Witness, without mentioning Linux equivalents or alternatives. The high availability and disaster recovery section exclusively discusses Windows clustering approaches and does not provide guidance for Linux-based SQL deployments. There are no examples or instructions tailored for Linux environments, and Windows licensing (Azure Hybrid Benefit) is described before mentioning Linux (RHEL/SLES) support, which is only referenced briefly.
Recommendations
  • Include examples and guidance for assessing SQL Server instances running on Linux VMs, such as those using Pacemaker or other Linux clustering solutions.
  • Add documentation for high availability and disaster recovery options for Linux-based SQL Server deployments in Azure, including witness configuration and failover strategies.
  • Provide parity in licensing and cost optimization explanations for Linux (RHEL/SLES) alongside Windows, with clear instructions for applying Azure Hybrid Benefit to Linux subscriptions.
  • Ensure screenshots, step-by-step instructions, and configuration options are relevant for both Windows and Linux environments.
  • Explicitly mention any limitations or differences in assessment features for Linux SQL Server instances, if applicable.
