Summary
The documentation page is focused on SAP high-availability scenarios using Azure VMs and Standard Load Balancer, but it demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. The page's metadata, service tags, and deployment instructions are oriented toward Windows (e.g., 'virtual-machines-windows', 'ms.tgt_pltfrm: vm-windows'), and Azure portal GUI instructions are given, which are more familiar to Windows users. There are no explicit Linux CLI examples for infrastructure setup (e.g., using Azure CLI or ARM templates from Linux), and the only Linux-specific configuration is for Pacemaker proxy settings, which is limited to the proxy scenario. The main infrastructure steps (load balancer, firewall, NSG) lack Linux-centric command-line examples, and the documentation does not mention Linux tools or patterns for these tasks.
Recommendations
- Add Linux-specific Azure CLI and/or ARM template examples for all deployment steps (e.g., creating load balancers, backend pools, NSGs, firewalls, routes).
- Include references to Linux command-line tools and scripting patterns for managing Azure resources, such as using bash scripts or automation via cloud-init.
- Balance the portal-based instructions with CLI-based instructions that are platform-agnostic and suitable for Linux administrators.
- Clarify that all steps can be performed from Linux environments and provide guidance for Linux users where relevant.
- Consider updating metadata and service tags to reflect Linux parity (e.g., include 'virtual-machines-linux' in services and platform targeting).
