Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, specifically Windows Server and SQL Server Always On Availability Groups, which are Windows-only technologies. All examples, prerequisites, and migration steps reference Windows Server Failover Clustering, SQL Server Management Studio, and Windows-based clustering concepts. There are no mentions of Linux-based SQL Server deployments, Linux clustering technologies, or cross-platform management tools. All references to clustering, quorum, and migration procedures assume a Windows Server context.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state that the guide is for Windows-based SQL Server Always On deployments, and clarify if Linux-based deployments are unsupported or require different procedures.
- If Linux-based SQL Server Always On Availability Groups are supported on Azure VMware Solution, add equivalent migration steps, prerequisites, and tooling for Linux environments (e.g., Pacemaker cluster management, Linux-based SQL Server tools).
- Include references and links to Linux SQL Server documentation and clustering best practices where applicable.
- Add notes or sections comparing Windows and Linux SQL Server migration scenarios, highlighting any differences in process or tooling.
- Ensure parity in examples and screenshots by providing Linux alternatives if supported.
