Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented towards Windows environments, specifically Windows Server Failover Clustering and SQL Server on Windows. All examples, procedures, and prerequisites assume a Windows-based SQL Server deployment. There are no mentions of Linux-based SQL Server deployments, nor are there any examples or guidance for users running SQL Server on Linux. All clustering and migration steps reference Windows tools and patterns (e.g., Windows Server Failover Cluster, SSMS), and all external links are to Windows-centric documentation.
Recommendations
- Add guidance and examples for migrating SQL Server Always On Availability Groups running on Linux (supported since SQL Server 2017).
- Include Linux-specific prerequisites, such as required packages, cluster manager (e.g., Pacemaker), and OS-level considerations.
- Provide equivalent migration steps using Linux tools and commands (e.g., using sqlcmd, Pacemaker commands, or Linux-based management tools).
- Reference official Microsoft and VMware documentation for SQL Server on Linux and Linux clustering solutions.
- Clarify early in the article that the documented procedure is for Windows-based deployments, and link to Linux guidance if available.
