Summary
The documentation is generally platform-neutral, focusing on assessing SQL Server instances in VMware VMs for migration to Azure SQL solutions. However, there are subtle signs of Windows bias: references to Windows Server Failover Clusters and Cloud Witness are made without mentioning Linux equivalents, and links to performance guidelines and high availability features are Windows-centric. The order and examples tend to prioritize Windows scenarios, with no explicit Linux/SQL Server on Linux references or examples.
Recommendations
- Include explicit guidance or notes for SQL Server instances running on Linux VMs, clarifying any differences in assessment or migration steps.
- Where high availability and disaster recovery options are discussed, mention Linux clustering solutions (e.g., Pacemaker) and provide relevant Azure documentation links.
- Add references or links to performance guidelines for SQL Server on Linux VMs in Azure.
- Clarify if the Azure Migrate assessment tool supports SQL Server on Linux and, if so, provide examples or screenshots for Linux-based scenarios.
- Ensure terminology and screenshots do not implicitly assume Windows-only environments unless the feature is truly Windows-specific.
