Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias primarily through its metadata, service targeting, and example ordering. The metadata and service tags focus on Windows (e.g., 'virtual-machines-windows', 'ms.tgt_pltfrm: vm-windows'), and deployment instructions reference the Azure portal and Windows-centric resource naming. While the article discusses Linux HA solutions (Pacemaker for SUSE/RHEL), the step-by-step examples for Azure resource creation are generic and do not provide CLI or script examples for Linux users (e.g., Bash, cloud-init). The only explicit OS-level configuration examples are for Pacemaker, but even these are presented after extensive Windows/Azure portal instructions. There is a lack of parity in providing Linux-native tooling or automation examples, and the documentation assumes familiarity with Windows/Azure portal workflows.
Recommendations
- Add Linux-focused CLI examples (e.g., Bash scripts, az CLI commands) for resource creation and configuration alongside or before Azure portal instructions.
- Include references to Linux automation tools (cloud-init, Ansible, Terraform) for deploying Azure resources in SAP HA scenarios.
- Balance the documentation by providing Linux-first or OS-neutral instructions, especially in step-by-step guides.
- Clarify in the metadata and introduction that the guidance applies equally to Linux-based VMs, and update service tags to include Linux.
- Provide explicit examples for configuring outbound connectivity using Linux-native tools and workflows, not just Azure portal or Windows-centric approaches.
