Summary
The documentation page generally describes the assessment process for migrating SQL Server instances to Azure SQL, which is relevant for both Windows and Linux SQL Server deployments. However, there is a notable bias towards Windows in the high availability and disaster recovery section, where only Windows Server Failover Clusters and related tooling (Cloud Witness, Shared Disk) are mentioned. The linked best practices for VM sizing also point to Windows-specific guidance. Linux equivalents (such as Pacemaker clusters or Linux witness options) are not referenced, and Windows patterns are described first and exclusively in relevant sections.
Recommendations
  • Add guidance or references for high availability and disaster recovery for SQL Server on Linux, such as Pacemaker clusters or Linux-based witness options.
  • Include links to performance best practices for SQL Server on Azure VMs running Linux, not just Windows.
  • Clarify in relevant sections whether the described features and recommendations apply to both Windows and Linux SQL Server deployments, or specify any limitations.
  • Where Windows-specific tooling is mentioned (e.g., Cloud Witness), provide Linux alternatives or note if none exist.
