Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows Server and Microsoft SQL Server Always On Availability Groups, with all examples, procedures, and tooling referencing Windows-only technologies (e.g., Windows Server Failover Cluster, SQL Server Management Studio). There are no Linux or cross-platform alternatives or examples provided, and Windows tools and documentation are referenced exclusively.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state that the guide is for Windows-based SQL Server deployments, and clarify if Linux-based SQL Server Always On AGs are unsupported or out of scope.
- If Linux-based SQL Server AGs are supported, add equivalent migration steps and tooling for Linux environments (e.g., using Pacemaker for cluster management, sqlcmd for administration).
- Include references to Linux SQL Server documentation and migration guides, if available.
- Where possible, provide cross-platform instructions or note differences for Linux/macOS users.
- Add a section discussing limitations or differences for non-Windows environments.
