Summary
The documentation lists Windows Server as the first supported OS for SAP on Azure and frequently references Windows in examples and restrictions (e.g., non-Unicode SAP systems only supported with Windows guest OS). Windows is mentioned before Linux distributions in most lists, and some features (non-Unicode SAP kernels) are only available on Windows. There is little parity in examples or guidance for Linux users, and Linux distributions are grouped together without specific examples or instructions.
Recommendations
- List supported Linux distributions before or alongside Windows, not after.
- Provide explicit Linux examples and guidance where Windows-specific instructions are given (e.g., for kernel updates, SAP kernel restrictions, or DBMS client support).
- Clarify any Linux-specific limitations or workarounds, especially where features are Windows-only.
- Include more detailed instructions or references for Linux users, such as links to SAP notes or documentation specific to SUSE, Red Hat, and Oracle Linux.
- Where a feature is Windows-only, suggest alternative approaches for Linux users or explain the rationale.
