Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows, with explicit statements that the scope is Windows-only and that SAP does not support SQL Server on Linux for SAP workloads. All configuration, deployment, and operational examples, as well as recommended tools and patterns (e.g., NTFS, D:\ drive, Windows Server, Windows command line, Storage Spaces, Windows clustering), are exclusively Windows-centric. There are no Linux equivalents or examples, and Linux is not mentioned as a supported platform for SQL Server in SAP on Azure contexts.
Recommendations
- Clearly state at the top that Linux is not supported for SAP workloads with SQL Server, but provide a link to general SQL Server on Linux documentation for users who may be interested in non-SAP scenarios.
- Where possible, add notes or sections that explain differences for Linux deployments, even if only to clarify that certain features (e.g., D:\ drive, NTFS, Storage Spaces, Windows clustering) are not available or work differently on Linux.
- Include references to Linux tools and patterns for general SQL Server on Azure VM deployments, even if SAP does not support them, to help users understand the broader context.
- If SAP support for SQL Server on Linux becomes available in the future, update all examples, configuration tables, and recommendations to include Linux equivalents (e.g., ext4/xfs file systems, Linux VM types, Linux command-line tools, systemd service management).
- Consider adding a comparison table summarizing feature/support differences between Windows and Linux SQL Server deployments in Azure, with a clear indication of SAP support status.
