Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows, both in scope and in practical examples. The page explicitly states that SAP does not support SQL Server on Linux for SAP workloads, and all deployment, configuration, and operational instructions are Windows-centric. All examples, tools, and recommendations reference Windows Server, NTFS, Windows-specific disk layouts, and Windows-only features (e.g., D:\ drive, Storage Spaces, Windows clustering, Windows command line). There are no Linux equivalents or examples, and Linux is only mentioned in passing (e.g., logo).
Recommendations
- Clearly state the lack of SAP support for SQL Server on Linux at the top, but also provide links to general SQL Server on Linux documentation for users with non-SAP workloads.
- Where possible, include Linux equivalents for general SQL Server deployment steps, even if only to clarify that they are not supported for SAP but are available for other use cases.
- Add a comparison table or section outlining differences between Windows and Linux SQL Server deployments in Azure, especially for users who may be evaluating both.
- Reference Linux-specific tools, file systems (e.g., ext4, xfs), and configuration patterns in sections that are not SAP-specific.
- If SAP support for SQL Server on Linux changes in the future, update the documentation to include Linux deployment instructions and parity in examples.
