Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on SQL Server, a product most commonly deployed on Windows, and all examples, benchmarks, and tooling references are centered around Windows VM instance types and SQL Server. There is no mention of Linux or cross-platform deployment scenarios, nor are there examples or guidance for Linux-based SQL Server or alternative database engines. The documentation implicitly assumes a Windows environment throughout.
Recommendations
- Include examples or notes for deploying SQL Server on Linux VMs, which is supported since SQL Server 2017.
- Mention Linux VM instance types and compare their performance/cost with Windows equivalents.
- Clarify whether Azure NetApp Files benefits apply equally to SQL Server on Linux and provide any Linux-specific configuration or tuning guidance.
- Reference cross-platform benchmarking tools or provide instructions for running SSB or similar benchmarks on Linux.
- Add links to documentation for deploying SQL Server on Linux in Azure.
