Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias primarily through the exclusive use of Windows-specific links and terminology. For example, the link to 'Create a PPG using the Azure portal' points to a Windows-specific path (/azure/virtual-machines/windows/proximity-placement-groups-portal), with no mention of Linux equivalents. There are no Linux-specific instructions, examples, or references, and the documentation does not clarify whether the described procedures or tools are equally applicable to Linux-based SAP HANA deployments. This may lead Linux users to feel unsupported or uncertain about parity.
Recommendations:
- Provide parallel links and instructions for both Windows and Linux environments, especially for tasks like creating proximity placement groups (PPGs). For example, include a link to /azure/virtual-machines/linux/proximity-placement-groups-portal alongside the Windows link.
- Explicitly state when procedures are OS-agnostic or, if there are differences, provide clear Linux-specific guidance.
- Include Linux-based terminology and examples where relevant (e.g., referencing Linux VMs, Linux command-line tools, or SAP HANA on Linux best practices).
- Review all cross-references and ensure that Linux users are not directed only to Windows-centric documentation.
- Add a section or note clarifying support and best practices for SAP HANA deployments on Linux, which is the most common OS for SAP HANA.
