Summary
The documentation page displays mild Windows bias by referencing Azure PowerShell and Windows-based node pools, listing PowerShell as a primary tool for backup/restore operations, and explicitly stating that the Backup Extension cannot be installed on Windows-based node pools. However, Linux is the only supported OS for the backup extension, and Ubuntu/Azure Linux are mentioned as required. There is a lack of explicit Linux CLI examples or parity in tooling recommendations, and PowerShell is listed alongside CLI and portal in 'Next steps' without clarifying platform differences.
Recommendations
- Clarify that Azure PowerShell is primarily for Windows environments and provide equivalent Linux shell (bash) examples wherever PowerShell is mentioned.
- In 'Next steps', list Azure CLI and Linux-native tools before PowerShell, or group them by platform to avoid Windows-first ordering.
- Explicitly state that the backup extension is supported only on Ubuntu/Azure Linux node pools and provide guidance for users migrating from Windows node pools.
- Add a note or section highlighting Linux command-line usage and best practices for AKS backup, including sample bash scripts or CLI workflows.
- Ensure that all tooling recommendations (CLI, Terraform, ARM, Bicep) include Linux compatibility notes and examples.
