Summary
The documentation page is heavily focused on Windows-based deployment and management of Azure Backup for SQL Server in Azure VMs. It exclusively references the 'AzureBackupWindowsWorkload' extension, provides only PowerShell examples for registration, and does not mention or provide guidance for Linux-based SQL Server VMs or alternative tooling (such as Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux extensions). Windows terminology and tools are used throughout, with no Linux parity.
Recommendations
- Clarify whether Linux-based SQL Server VMs are supported or not. If supported, add equivalent instructions and examples for Linux VMs.
- Provide Azure CLI and/or Bash examples for registering the VM and managing backups, alongside PowerShell.
- If Linux is not supported, explicitly state this limitation at the top of the article to set expectations for non-Windows users.
- Reference any Linux-specific extensions or backup mechanisms if available.
- Reorganize examples so that cross-platform options (PowerShell, CLI, ARM templates) are presented together, not Windows-first.
