Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. It references Windows-specific technologies and patterns (e.g., Windows Server Failover Clusters, Cloud Witness, and links to Windows-specific best practices), and does not provide equivalent guidance or examples for Linux-based SQL Server deployments. Linux options are mentioned only briefly (e.g., RHEL/SLES licensing in Azure Hybrid Benefit), but there are no instructions, examples, or links for Linux failover, clustering, or migration scenarios. Windows terminology and links are presented first and exclusively in critical high availability/disaster recovery sections.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit guidance and examples for assessing and migrating SQL Server instances running on Linux (e.g., Ubuntu, RHEL, SLES).
  • Include links to Linux-specific best practices for SQL Server on Azure VMs, similar to the Windows-focused link provided.
  • Describe high availability and disaster recovery options for SQL Server on Linux, such as Pacemaker clusters, and provide relevant configuration and migration steps.
  • Ensure parity in licensing and cost optimization explanations for Linux environments, not just Windows.
  • Where Windows-specific tools (e.g., Cloud Witness) are referenced, offer Linux equivalents or alternatives.
