Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments. All examples, instructions, and tooling references assume SQL Server is running on Windows VMs. Steps for configuring permissions, managing service accounts, and automating tasks use Windows-specific concepts (NT SERVICE accounts, SSMS, Windows authentication, PowerShell, Task Manager, SMB shares). There is no mention of Linux-based SQL Server VMs, nor are there any Linux-specific instructions, examples, or parity notes.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance for SQL Server on Linux VMs, including differences in service account management, permissions, and backup extension installation.
- Provide Linux-specific examples for configuring permissions (e.g., using sqlcmd, chown/chmod for file permissions, systemd service management).
- Include automation scripts for Linux environments (e.g., bash scripts, use of sqlcmd on Linux, systemctl commands).
- Clarify which instructions are Windows-only and offer equivalent steps for Linux, or note limitations if Linux is not supported.
- Mention Linux support status early in the document, and link to Linux-specific documentation if available.
