Summary
The documentation consistently refers to SQL Server migration scenarios involving 'SQL Server on Azure VM', which is a Windows-based deployment, and does not mention Linux-based SQL Server deployments or provide guidance/examples for Linux users. There are no references to Linux-specific migration patterns, tools, or considerations, and the assessment support status only discusses Windows OS support lifecycles. This creates a subtle but notable Windows bias, as Linux users running SQL Server are not addressed.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly mention and provide guidance for SQL Server deployments on Linux, including migration scenarios to Azure SQL targets from Linux hosts.
  • Clarify whether the assessment and migration recommendations apply to SQL Server running on Linux, and note any differences or limitations.
  • Include examples or notes for Linux users, such as how to assess readiness, cost, and support status for SQL Server on Linux.
  • Add references to Linux support status and lifecycle in the 'Review support status' section.
  • If there are limitations for Linux-based SQL Server migrations, document them clearly.
