Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All instructions, examples, and tooling references (such as SSMS, NT SERVICE accounts, Windows authentication, PowerShell scripts, and Windows file paths) are specific to Windows. There is no mention of Linux-based SQL Server VMs, nor any guidance for Linux authentication, file permissions, or command-line equivalents. The backup extension is named 'AzureBackupWindowsWorkload', and all operational steps assume a Windows OS, leaving Linux users without clear instructions.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance for Linux-based SQL Server VMs, including any differences in extension installation, service accounts, and authentication.
- Provide Linux-specific examples for setting SQL Server permissions (e.g., using sqlcmd or other CLI tools on Linux).
- Include file path and permission instructions for Linux (e.g., using chmod/chown instead of Windows Security tab).
- Offer Bash or shell script equivalents for PowerShell automation steps.
- Clarify whether the AzureBackupWindowsWorkload extension is supported or available for Linux VMs, and if not, document alternatives.
- Document any limitations or differences for SQL Server on Linux in Azure VMs, and link to relevant Linux documentation.
