Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as Windows Server Failover Clusters, Cloud Witness, and links to Windows-specific best practices) without mentioning or providing parity for Linux environments. There are no Linux-specific examples, instructions, or references to Linux-based SQL Server deployments or high availability patterns. The documentation assumes a Windows-centric SQL Server environment, especially in high availability and migration scenarios.
Recommendations:
- Include explicit guidance for assessing and migrating SQL Server instances running on Linux, including any differences in data collection, compatibility checks, and migration steps.
- Provide Linux-specific examples and references, such as links to best practices for SQL Server on Linux VMs in Azure.
- Mention Linux-based high availability options (e.g., Pacemaker clusters) alongside Windows Server Failover Clusters and Cloud Witness.
- Clarify if and how the Azure Migrate appliance supports SQL Server on Linux and what, if any, limitations exist.
- Ensure that documentation for storage, compute, and security settings addresses both Windows and Linux environments equally.
