Summary
The documentation is exclusively focused on Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) for SAP ASCS/SCS high availability in Azure, with all examples, terminology, and tooling specific to Windows. There is no mention of Linux-based clustering solutions, nor any guidance for SAP ASCS/SCS clustering on Linux or cross-platform approaches. Windows tools and patterns (WSFC, SIOS DataKeeper, UNC paths, Windows file shares) are referenced throughout, and supported OS versions are limited to Windows Server. This creates a strong bias toward Windows, making the documentation unusable for Linux or macOS users.
Recommendations
- Add a parallel guide or section for clustering SAP ASCS/SCS instances on Linux (e.g., using Pacemaker, Corosync, or SUSE HA extensions) in Azure.
- Include Linux-specific prerequisites, supported OS versions, and storage options (such as NFS, Azure Files, or Linux-compatible shared disks).
- Provide Linux command-line examples and configuration steps alongside Windows/Powershell equivalents.
- Reference cross-platform or Linux-native high availability patterns for SAP workloads in Azure.
- Clarify in the introduction that the guide is Windows-specific, and link to Linux documentation if available.
