Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific tools, patterns, and best practices (e.g., Windows Server Failover Clusters, Cloud Witness, and links to Windows-specific performance guidelines) without mentioning or providing equivalent Linux guidance. There are no Linux-specific examples, instructions, or references for scenarios such as SQL Server on Linux, Linux-based failover clustering, or migration from Linux SQL Server environments. The documentation assumes a Windows-centric environment throughout.
Recommendations:
- Include explicit guidance and examples for assessing and migrating SQL Server instances running on Linux, including supported distributions and any differences in data collection or assessment.
- Reference Linux-based high availability and disaster recovery patterns (e.g., Pacemaker clusters) alongside Windows Server Failover Clusters.
- Provide links to Linux-specific best practices for SQL Server on Azure VMs, such as /azure/azure-sql/virtual-machines/linux/performance-guidelines-best-practices-checklist.
- Clarify whether the Azure Migrate appliance supports discovery and assessment of SQL Server on Linux, and if so, provide setup instructions for Linux environments.
- When mentioning tools like Cloud Witness or Shared Disk for Windows clusters, also mention Linux alternatives or note any limitations.
- Ensure that all example links, especially those under 'Learn more' and 'best practices', have Linux equivalents or clearly state platform applicability.
