Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. Only Windows Server operating systems are listed as supported, with Linux explicitly stated as unsupported. All examples and tooling references (e.g., PowerShell) are Windows-centric, with no mention of Linux equivalents or parity. The backup configuration is only supported via the Azure portal or PowerShell, and CLI is not supported, further reinforcing Windows bias.
Recommendations
- Clearly indicate plans or timelines for Linux support, if any, or provide rationale for its absence.
- Add Linux support where feasible, including examples and instructions for common Linux distributions running SQL Server in Azure VMs.
- Support Azure CLI for backup configuration to enable cross-platform management, and provide CLI examples alongside PowerShell.
- Where features are Windows-only, explicitly state alternatives or workarounds for Linux users.
- Review all tooling and example sections to ensure parity and visibility for Linux administrators.
