Summary
The documentation focuses exclusively on managing and monitoring SQL Server databases on Azure VMs, implicitly assuming Windows as the underlying OS. There are no examples, instructions, or notes for SQL Server on Linux VMs, nor any mention of Linux-specific tools or scenarios. All references to SQL Server management, backup, and recovery are Windows-centric, and the use of the Azure portal is described with screenshots and steps that are only applicable to Windows-based SQL Server deployments.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state whether the instructions apply to both Windows and Linux-based SQL Server VMs, or clarify if only Windows is supported.
  • Add sections or notes describing how to manage and monitor SQL Server on Linux VMs, including any differences in backup agent installation, extension registration, or portal experience.
  • Provide Linux-specific examples, such as using Bash, Linux file paths, or relevant Linux tools for troubleshooting and management.
  • If certain features are not supported on Linux, clearly document these limitations.
  • Include links to documentation for SQL Server on Linux in Azure VMs, if available.
