Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing examples and walkthroughs exclusively for Windows VMs, focusing on Windows-specific concepts (drive letters, pagefile.sys, diskmgmt.msc, SQL Server on Windows), and omitting equivalent Linux scenarios. There are no Linux VM examples, no mention of Linux disk management tools or patterns, and Windows terminology is used throughout. Linux is only referenced in passing in a failback limitation table, without any practical guidance or examples.
Recommendations
  • Add parallel examples for Linux VMs, such as excluding disks containing swap partitions or temp files, and handling failover/failback for Linux workloads.
  • Include Linux disk management instructions (e.g., using lsblk, parted, fdisk, or LVM) for adding/initializing disks after failover.
  • Provide SQL Server on Linux scenarios, or examples for other common Linux workloads (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL) and their temp file management.
  • Reference Linux-specific tools and commands (e.g., systemctl for service management, mount for disk mounting) alongside Windows tools.
  • Clarify differences in drive letter assignment and disk handling between Windows and Linux VMs in Azure.
  • Ensure that screenshots and walkthroughs include Linux equivalents where applicable.
