Summary
The documentation consistently assumes SQL Server workloads running on Windows-based Azure VMs, referencing 'SQLInstance', 'mssqlserver', and using naming conventions and patterns typical of Windows SQL Server deployments. There are no explicit examples, notes, or guidance for restoring SQL Server on Linux VMs, nor any mention of Linux-specific considerations or tools. The CLI examples and resource names all reflect Windows-centric SQL Server environments, and there is no parity for Linux SQL Server users.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit guidance and examples for restoring SQL Server databases running on Linux-based Azure VMs, including any differences in CLI usage, file paths, or prerequisites.
  • Include notes or sections that clarify support for SQL Server on Linux, and highlight any differences in restore operations or limitations.
  • Provide Linux-specific example resource names, file paths (e.g., /var/opt/mssql/data), and scenarios alongside or before Windows examples.
  • Mention any Linux-specific tools or troubleshooting steps relevant to SQL Server on Linux in Azure VMs.
  • Ensure that documentation language and examples are inclusive of both Windows and Linux SQL Server deployments, or clearly state if only Windows is supported.
