Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. It references Windows-specific tools and patterns, such as Windows Server Failover Clusters and Cloud Witness, and links to Windows-focused best practices for SQL Server on Azure VMs. Linux equivalents (e.g., Pacemaker for HA, Linux disk witness) are not mentioned, and examples or guidance for Linux-based SQL deployments are absent. The documentation assumes Windows environments in high availability/disaster recovery scenarios and in licensing discussions, with only brief mention of Enterprise Linux subscriptions (RHEL/SLES) for Azure Hybrid Benefit. No Linux-specific migration patterns, readiness checks, or cost considerations are provided.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance and examples for Linux-based SQL Server deployments, including migration, assessment, and readiness checks.
- Include references and links to Linux best practices for SQL Server on Azure VMs (e.g., performance guidelines for Linux, disk witness setup, Pacemaker cluster configuration).
- When discussing high availability and disaster recovery, mention Linux clustering options and how to configure them in Azure.
- Provide parity in licensing and cost estimation examples for Linux environments, not just Windows.
- Ensure screenshots and walkthroughs include both Windows and Linux scenarios where applicable.
