Summary:
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows-based SQL Server deployments and migration scenarios. All examples, best practices, and links are tailored to Windows environments (e.g., Windows-based SQL Server on Azure VM, Windows-specific performance guidelines, and cluster best practices). There is no mention of Linux-based SQL Server deployments, migration considerations for Linux, or links to Linux-specific documentation. The absence of Linux examples and guidance may lead Linux users to feel unsupported or unclear about their migration path.
Recommendations:
- Include explicit references to SQL Server on Linux, both on-premises and as a migration target, where applicable.
- Provide parallel examples and best practices for Linux-based SQL Server deployments (e.g., storage and compute sizing, cluster configurations, and high availability).
- Add links to Linux-specific documentation, such as performance guidelines and cluster best practices for SQL Server on Linux VMs.
- Clarify in each section whether the guidance applies to both Windows and Linux, or specify differences where relevant.
- Ensure that migration guidance covers both Windows and Linux source environments, including any unique considerations or prerequisites for Linux.
