Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., Cloud Witness, Windows Server Failover Clusters), linking to Windows-focused best practices, and omitting Linux-specific instructions or examples. There are no Linux or cross-platform command-line examples, and Linux migration scenarios or considerations are not mentioned, despite Azure SQL supporting Linux-based SQL Server workloads.
Recommendations:
- Include Linux-specific migration scenarios, such as assessing SQL Server instances running on Linux.
- Provide parity in documentation by referencing both Windows and Linux tools for high availability and disaster recovery (e.g., mention Linux clustering or Pacemaker alternatives).
- Add links to Linux best practices for SQL Server on Azure VMs, not just Windows.
- Where Windows-specific features (like Cloud Witness) are mentioned, add equivalent Linux guidance or note the differences.
- Include screenshots or walkthroughs that show Linux-based environments where applicable.
- Explicitly state support and any limitations for Linux-based SQL Server migrations in the assessment process.
