Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific technologies (e.g., IIS, Windows Server Failover Clusters, Windows-specific best practices links) and omitting Linux-specific examples or guidance. References to high availability, disaster recovery, and migration scenarios are framed around Windows tools and patterns, with no mention of Linux-based SQL Server deployments or their migration nuances. Where links to best practices are provided, they point to Windows-specific documentation. There are no Linux or cross-platform PowerShell/Bash/CLI examples, and the documentation assumes a Windows-centric environment throughout.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit guidance and examples for assessing and migrating SQL Server instances running on Linux (including supported distributions).
- Include links to best practices for SQL Server on Linux in Azure, not just Windows.
- When discussing high availability and disaster recovery, mention Linux-based clustering and failover options (e.g., Pacemaker, Linux witness options) alongside Windows Server Failover Clusters.
- Provide parity in migration steps, screenshots, and configuration options for both Windows and Linux SQL Server sources.
- Where PowerShell or Windows-specific tools are referenced, also provide equivalent Bash/CLI/Linux-native commands and workflows.
- Clarify in each section whether the guidance applies to both Windows and Linux SQL Server deployments, or specify differences as needed.
