Summary
The documentation exhibits moderate Windows bias, notably in the Virtual Machines section where PowerShell is stated as the only supported method for configuring disaster recovery for VMs deployed in scale sets with FD=1. Storage recommendations include Windows-centric tools like RoboCopy for SMB file replication, while Linux alternatives (e.g., rsync) are mentioned but not given equal prominence or detail. Windows-specific scenarios (e.g., Azure Shared Disk for Windows) are called out, but equivalent Linux guidance is less explicit. Examples and tool recommendations tend to mention Windows options first or exclusively in some cases.
Recommendations
- Provide Bash/CLI examples alongside PowerShell, especially for critical DR setup steps.
- Offer explicit guidance for Linux-based SAP deployments, including supported tools and procedures for DR configuration.
- Ensure Linux tools (e.g., rsync) are described with equal detail and prominence as Windows tools like RoboCopy.
- Clarify whether Linux VMs in scale sets can be configured for DR via CLI or other methods, or if PowerShell is truly the only option.
- Add parity in documentation for storage DR strategies, including SMB and NFS scenarios for Linux.
- Where Windows-specific scenarios are described (e.g., Azure Shared Disk), provide Linux equivalents or note limitations.
