Summary
The documentation consistently refers to SQL Server migration scenarios and readiness for 'SQL Server on Azure VM', which is a Windows-centric deployment. There is no mention of Linux-based SQL Server deployments, nor are there examples or guidance for users running SQL Server on Linux. The assessment and migration recommendations focus exclusively on Windows-based SQL Server targets, implicitly assuming Windows as the source and target OS.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly mention and provide guidance for SQL Server running on Linux, including assessment and migration steps.
  • Add examples and screenshots showing assessment results for Linux-based SQL Server instances.
  • Clarify whether Azure Migrate supports discovery and assessment of SQL Server on Linux, and document any differences or limitations.
  • Include notes or sections on migrating from Linux SQL Server to Azure SQL targets, and highlight any OS-specific considerations.
