Summary
The documentation for 'Create an Azure SQL assessment' demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Several sections reference Windows-specific tools and patterns, such as Windows Server Failover Clusters and Cloud Witness, without mentioning Linux equivalents or alternatives. Links and examples for performance guidelines and high availability reference Windows-focused documentation. There are no Linux-specific examples or guidance for scenarios like cluster quorum or disk witness configuration. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows environments and does not provide parity for Linux-based SQL Server deployments.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit guidance for Linux-based SQL Server deployments, including how to configure high availability and disaster recovery in Azure VMs running Linux.
  • Include links to Linux-specific performance guidelines and best practices for SQL Server on Azure VMs.
  • Provide examples or notes for configuring cluster quorum and witness options for Linux environments, such as using shared disk or file share witness.
  • Clarify which features or recommendations are Windows-only and suggest Linux alternatives where applicable.
