Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Key high availability and disaster recovery sections reference Windows Server Failover Clusters and Cloud Witness, with links and configuration guidance focused on Windows. There is no mention of Linux clustering equivalents (e.g., Pacemaker, Corosync) or guidance for Linux-based SQL Server deployments. The Azure Hybrid Benefit section references Windows Server and SQL Server licenses, with only a brief mention of Enterprise Linux subscriptions (RHEL/SLES) and no further Linux-specific details. All referenced best practices and configuration links for SQL Server on Azure VM point to Windows-focused documentation. No Linux or cross-platform examples, tools, or migration patterns are provided.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit guidance and examples for Linux-based SQL Server deployments, including clustering and high availability options (e.g., Pacemaker, Corosync).
  • Include links to Linux-specific best practices for SQL Server on Azure VM.
  • Clarify Azure Hybrid Benefit applicability for Linux SQL Server workloads, with licensing and cost examples.
  • Ensure parity in migration scenarios and readiness checks for both Windows and Linux SQL Server instances.
  • Where Windows-specific tools (e.g., Cloud Witness) are mentioned, provide Linux alternatives or note differences.
