Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows, both in scope and practical guidance. The page explicitly states that SAP does not support SQL Server on Linux for SAP workloads, and all deployment, configuration, and operational examples are Windows-centric. Only Windows Server is mentioned for OS, NTFS for file system, and Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., Windows command prompt, NTFS formatting, D:\ drive usage, Windows clustering, Windows-specific VM images, and Windows-only features like Write Accelerator). No Linux equivalents, examples, or guidance are provided, and Linux is only referenced to clarify its lack of support.
Recommendations
- Clearly state at the top that Linux is not supported for SAP workloads with SQL Server, and link to any SAP or Microsoft documentation explaining the rationale.
- If partial Linux support exists for non-SAP workloads, provide a brief section or link for those scenarios.
- Where possible, mention what would be different if Linux were supported (e.g., file system, disk formatting, OS-level configuration), to help users understand the gap.
- If SAP or Microsoft ever adds Linux support, update the documentation to include Linux-specific examples, tools, and configuration steps in parity with Windows.
