Summary
The documentation page focuses exclusively on SQL Server Always On Availability Groups in Azure VMs, implicitly assuming a Windows environment. There are no examples, instructions, or mentions of Linux-based SQL Server deployments, nor any Linux-specific backup tooling or patterns. All references to backup extensions, registration, and failover are written from the perspective of Windows VMs, with no guidance for Linux users. The documentation also omits any mention of cross-platform compatibility or differences, and does not provide parity for Linux SQL Server scenarios.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance for SQL Server AG deployments on Linux, including any limitations or differences in Azure Backup support.
- Provide Linux-specific examples for registering AG nodes, configuring backups, and handling failover, using relevant Linux tools and commands.
- Clarify whether the Azure Backup workload extension is supported on Linux SQL Server VMs, and if not, document alternative backup strategies for Linux.
- Include a section comparing Windows and Linux support for SQL Server AG backups in Azure, highlighting any feature gaps or required steps.
- Ensure that all instructions and diagrams mention both Windows and Linux scenarios where applicable, and avoid assuming a Windows-only environment.
