Summary
The documentation shows a Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as Windows Server Failover Clusters and Cloud Witness), linking to Windows-specific best practices, and omitting Linux-specific guidance or examples. There are no Linux or cross-platform examples for SQL Server deployments, high availability, or licensing, and Windows terminology is used exclusively in several key sections.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux-specific examples and guidance, such as SQL Server on Linux VM migration scenarios and high availability configurations (e.g., Pacemaker clusters).
  • Reference both Windows and Linux best practices for SQL Server on Azure VMs, providing links to both sets of documentation.
  • When discussing features like Azure Hybrid Benefit, clarify how it applies to both Windows and Enterprise Linux (RHEL/SLES) subscriptions, and provide examples for each.
  • In sections discussing high availability and disaster recovery, include Linux-supported options (e.g., Pacemaker, witness disk configurations) and not just Windows Server Failover Clusters.
  • Ensure screenshots and step-by-step instructions are platform-neutral or provide parallel instructions for both Windows and Linux environments.
  • Review terminology to avoid assuming Windows as the default (e.g., replace 'Windows Server Failover Clusters' with 'Failover Clusters (Windows or Linux)').
