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, tooling, and configuration steps reference Windows Server Failover Clustering, SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), and Windows-based clustering concepts. There are no Linux equivalents, examples, or alternative approaches mentioned, and all references to clustering, quorum, and migration are Windows-centric.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state that SQL Server Always On Availability Groups are only supported on Windows, and clarify if there are any Linux-based alternatives or similar high-availability solutions for SQL Server on Linux.
- If Linux-based SQL Server deployments are supported in Azure VMware Solution, provide a parallel section or note describing the migration process for those environments, including any differences in tooling or steps.
- Include references to Linux tools (such as sqlcmd or Azure Data Studio) where applicable, or clarify their (in)applicability in this scenario.
- Where Windows-specific tools or concepts are used (e.g., Failover Cluster, SSMS), briefly mention that these are not available on Linux and suggest alternative approaches or documentation for Linux users if relevant.
- Add a note in the prerequisites or introduction to acknowledge the Windows-centric nature of the guide and direct Linux users to appropriate resources if available.
