Summary
The documentation page, while targeting SAP deployments on Azure with a stated focus on Linux VMs, exhibits several signs of Windows bias. Windows tools and concepts (such as Windows Server Active Directory, RDP, Windows failover clustering, and PowerShell) are mentioned frequently and often before or alongside their Linux equivalents. Examples and guidance for Linux-specific tools, patterns, or commands are sparse or missing, and some migration and operational instructions reference PowerShell scripts without providing equivalent Bash/CLI alternatives. In several cases, Windows-centric terminology and solutions are presented as defaults or primary options, with Linux alternatives relegated to secondary mentions.
Recommendations
- Ensure that every example or tool mentioned for Windows (e.g., PowerShell scripts, Windows Server Active Directory, RDP, Windows failover clustering) is paired with an equivalent Linux example (e.g., Bash/CLI scripts, LDAP/SSSD, SSH, Pacemaker).
- When referencing migration scripts or automation, provide both PowerShell and Bash/CLI alternatives, or link to cross-platform tools.
- Present Linux-first examples and guidance, especially in sections where the target platform is Linux (as indicated by ms.tgt_pltfrm: vm-linux).
- Expand documentation of Linux-specific high-availability frameworks (e.g., Pacemaker) and operational patterns, including troubleshooting and best practices.
- Avoid using Windows-centric terminology as the default; instead, clarify when a solution is Windows-specific and offer Linux alternatives in parallel.
- Include more references to Linux-native identity management, encryption, and security tooling, rather than focusing primarily on Windows Server Active Directory and related services.
- Where SAP Notes or external resources are referenced, clarify their applicability to Linux and Windows, and provide direct links to Linux-relevant documentation.
