Summary
The documentation is generally platform-neutral regarding the assessment of SQL Server instances in VMware VMs for migration to Azure SQL solutions. However, there are several subtle signs of Windows bias: references to Windows Server Failover Clusters and Cloud Witness (Windows-only), links to Windows-specific performance guidelines, and no mention of Linux SQL Server scenarios or Linux-specific migration considerations. Examples and screenshots do not clarify whether Linux-based SQL Server instances are supported or how their migration might differ.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state whether Linux-based SQL Server instances in VMware VMs are supported for assessment and migration.
  • Provide examples or notes for Linux SQL Server instances, including any differences in assessment, migration, or Azure SQL configuration.
  • Where Windows-specific features (e.g., Cloud Witness, Windows Server Failover Clusters) are mentioned, clarify alternatives or limitations for Linux environments.
  • Add links to Linux SQL Server performance guidelines and best practices for running SQL Server on Linux in Azure VMs.
  • Ensure screenshots and instructions are inclusive of both Windows and Linux SQL Server scenarios, or clearly state any platform limitations.
