Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows-based SQL Server deployments and migration targets, such as SQL Server on Azure VM (with Windows), and by linking only to Windows-specific best practices and guidelines. There are no examples, guidance, or references for Linux-based SQL Server deployments or migrations, nor are Linux tools or patterns mentioned. This may leave Linux users without clear guidance for their scenarios.
Recommendations:
- Include explicit references and guidance for SQL Server on Linux, both on-premises and as an Azure VM target.
- Provide links to best practices and performance guidelines for SQL Server on Linux VMs in Azure (e.g., https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/azure-sql/virtual-machines/linux/).
- Add examples and remediation guidance relevant to Linux-based SQL Server deployments, such as file system considerations, disk layout, and supported features.
- Clarify in all relevant sections that both Windows and Linux SQL Server sources and targets are supported, and highlight any differences in assessment or migration steps.
- Wherever a link or example is provided for Windows, provide a Linux equivalent in parallel.
