Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a clear Windows bias. It exclusively discusses the AzureBackupWindowsWorkload extension, which is specific to Windows workloads, and provides only PowerShell-based deployment instructions. There are no examples or guidance for Linux-based SQL Server deployments, nor are Linux tools or command-line patterns mentioned. The documentation assumes the SQL Server is running on Windows, with no consideration for Linux VMs or cross-platform scenarios.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state whether Linux-based SQL Server VMs are supported or not. If not, clarify this early in the documentation.
- If Linux support exists, add equivalent instructions and examples for Linux VMs, including relevant extensions, deployment methods, and command-line tools (e.g., Bash, Azure CLI).
- Provide parity in tooling: alongside PowerShell, include Azure CLI or REST API examples for cross-platform compatibility.
- Mention any differences in backup process or extension names for Linux VMs, if applicable.
- Review and update the documentation collection metadata (e.g., ms.collection: windows) to reflect cross-platform support if/when Linux is included.
