Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation consistently refers to 'SQL Server on Azure VM' as the primary migration target and uses Windows-centric terminology (e.g., 'SQL Server', 'SQL Server credentials'). There is no mention of Linux-based SQL Server deployments, nor examples or guidance for users running SQL Server on Linux. The migration strategies and readiness/cost reports are described in terms of Windows VM scenarios, with no explicit Linux parity or acknowledgement.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly mention that SQL Server can run on both Windows and Linux, and clarify that Azure VM migration supports both OS types.
  • Include examples or notes for users migrating SQL Server from Linux environments, including any differences in assessment or migration steps.
  • Add guidance or links for Linux-specific migration considerations (e.g., authentication, file paths, service management).
  • Ensure terminology is inclusive (e.g., 'SQL Server on Azure VM (Windows or Linux)') where appropriate.
