Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by frequently referencing Windows-specific technologies (e.g., IIS, Windows Server Failover Clusters), linking to Windows-focused best practices, and omitting Linux-specific migration scenarios, examples, or guidance. The high availability and disaster recovery sections exclusively mention Windows Server Failover Clusters and Cloud Witness, with no mention of Linux clustering or HA/DR patterns. There are no Linux or cross-platform examples, and the documentation assumes Windows environments for most advanced scenarios.
Recommendations
- Include Linux-specific migration scenarios and examples, such as migrating SQL Server running on Linux or Linux-based HA/DR configurations.
- Reference and link to Linux best practices for SQL Server on Azure VM (e.g., performance guidelines for Linux VMs).
- Provide parity in documentation for Linux tools, patterns, and supported features (e.g., Pacemaker for clustering, Linux-based witness options).
- Clearly state which features and recommendations apply to both Windows and Linux, and highlight any differences.
- Add explicit guidance for users migrating from Linux environments, including any prerequisites or limitations.
