Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. Windows-centric concepts, such as Windows Server Failover Clusters, Cloud Witness, and references to Windows-specific best practices, are mentioned exclusively or before any Linux equivalents. Links and examples for SQL Server on Azure VM sizing and migration consistently point to Windows-focused resources. There is no mention of Linux-based SQL Server deployments, nor are there examples or guidance for Linux users. The documentation assumes Windows as the default environment for SQL Server, clustering, and migration scenarios.
Recommendations
  • Include explicit guidance and examples for SQL Server deployments on Linux, including migration steps and best practices.
  • Reference Linux-specific clustering and high availability options (e.g., Pacemaker, Corosync) alongside Windows Failover Clusters.
  • Provide parity in links and documentation for both Windows and Linux SQL Server environments, including performance guidelines and migration checklists.
  • Clarify which features and recommendations apply to Linux-based SQL Server instances, and note any differences or limitations.
  • Add Linux command-line examples (e.g., Bash, systemctl) where PowerShell is referenced.
  • Mention Linux licensing options and Azure Hybrid Benefit applicability for Enterprise Linux subscriptions more prominently.
