Summary
The documentation page exhibits moderate Windows bias. PowerShell is frequently referenced as the primary or only automation method, with no mention of Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux-native tooling. Windows-specific technologies (e.g., Volume Shadow Copy Service, ADE for Windows, SQL Server extensions) are described in detail, while Linux equivalents are either missing or briefly mentioned. Examples and instructions often assume Windows environments, and Linux scenarios (such as shared disk support) are explicitly unsupported or given less detail.
Recommendations
- Provide Azure CLI and Bash examples alongside PowerShell for all automation steps.
- Explicitly document Linux support and limitations in each relevant section, including parity for features like disk encryption, shared disks, and app-consistent snapshots.
- Include Linux-specific instructions and troubleshooting steps, especially for tasks currently described only for Windows (e.g., extension installation, automation account selection).
- Mention Linux tools and patterns (e.g., shell scripts, cron jobs) where automation is discussed.
- Ensure that Linux scenarios are covered with equal detail and clarity as Windows scenarios.
