Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as Cloud Witness and Windows Server Failover Clusters) without mentioning Linux equivalents. The only linked performance guidelines are for Windows, and there are no Linux-specific instructions, examples, or references to Linux-based SQL Server deployments. The documentation assumes a Windows-centric environment, omitting guidance for users running SQL Server on Linux VMs.
Recommendations
  • Include explicit guidance and examples for assessing SQL Server instances running on Linux VMs, including any differences in discovery, assessment, or migration steps.
  • Reference and link to performance guidelines and best practices for SQL Server on Linux VMs, not just Windows.
  • When discussing high availability and disaster recovery, mention Linux clustering options (such as Pacemaker) and provide relevant Azure documentation links.
  • Clarify whether the Azure Migrate appliance and assessment process supports both Windows and Linux SQL Server instances, and note any limitations.
  • Add Linux-specific screenshots or CLI examples where appropriate, and ensure parity in step-by-step instructions for both platforms.
