Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows Server Failover Cluster and SQL Server on Windows, with all examples, screenshots, and tooling references specific to Windows environments (Failover Cluster Manager, SQL Server Management Studio). There is no mention of Linux-based SQL Server clusters, Linux failover mechanisms, or cross-platform alternatives. All procedural steps and prerequisites assume Windows-only deployments, and references link exclusively to Windows documentation.
Recommendations
- Add guidance for migrating SQL Server clusters running on Linux, including supported clustering technologies (e.g., Pacemaker, Corosync).
- Include Linux-specific migration steps and tooling (such as systemctl, Linux-based cluster management commands, and SQL Server on Linux documentation).
- Provide parity in examples and screenshots for Linux environments, or clearly state Windows-only support if Linux is not supported.
- Reference cross-platform SQL Server documentation and clarify any platform limitations.
- If Azure VMware Solution only supports Windows clusters, explicitly state this at the beginning to set expectations for Linux users.
