Summary
The documentation is generally cross-platform, focusing on Azure SQL assessment via the Azure Migrate tool, which supports SQL Server on any OS. However, there are several instances where Windows-specific tools, features, or documentation are referenced first or exclusively (e.g., Windows Server Failover Clusters, Cloud Witness, and links to Windows-specific best practices). Linux equivalents or considerations are not mentioned, and the documentation assumes familiarity with Windows-based SQL Server deployments.
Recommendations
- Wherever Windows-specific features (e.g., Cloud Witness, Windows Server Failover Clusters) are mentioned, add notes or links about Linux equivalents (e.g., Linux clustering, Pacemaker, or other HA/DR options for SQL Server on Linux).
- When linking to best practices for SQL Server on Azure VMs, include both Windows and Linux documentation links.
- Clarify in the 'Assessment settings' and 'High availability and disaster recovery properties' sections which options are Windows-only and provide guidance for Linux users.
- Explicitly state that the assessment process applies to SQL Server on Linux as well, and note any limitations or differences.
- Add examples or screenshots that include Linux-based SQL Server instances, if supported.
