Summary
The documentation page shows notable Windows bias in several areas. High availability and disaster recovery sections exclusively reference Windows Server Failover Clusters and Cloud Witness, with links and instructions focused on Windows tools and patterns. There are no equivalent Linux clustering or HA/DR examples, nor are Linux-specific options or tools mentioned. The Azure Hybrid Benefit section mentions Enterprise Linux subscriptions (RHEL/SLES) but provides much more detail for Windows Server and SQL Server licenses. Throughout, Windows terminology and links appear first and are more detailed, while Linux is only briefly referenced.
Recommendations
- Add explicit examples and guidance for Linux-based SQL Server deployments, including clustering and HA/DR options (e.g., Pacemaker, Corosync, Linux witness options).
- Include links to Linux-specific best practices for running SQL Server on Azure VMs.
- Provide parity in licensing and migration instructions for Linux SQL Server instances, including details on how Azure Hybrid Benefit applies to RHEL/SLES.
- Where Windows tools or features are mentioned (e.g., Cloud Witness, Failover Clusters), add equivalent Linux alternatives and instructions.
- Ensure screenshots and step-by-step instructions are not Windows-centric and clarify any OS-specific steps.
