Summary
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All examples, scenarios, and scripts assume Windows Server environments (specifically Windows Server 2012 R2), SharePoint 2013 Enterprise, and SQL Server 2014 Enterprise. There are no references to Linux-based SharePoint alternatives or guidance for non-Windows platforms. Script examples and recovery steps rely on Windows PowerShell cmdlets and Windows-centric tools (e.g., DFSR, AzCopy), with no mention of Bash, Linux CLI, or cross-platform automation. The documentation does not provide parity for Linux users or those running SharePoint alternatives on Linux.
Recommendations
  • Include explicit guidance for Linux-based environments, such as SharePoint alternatives (e.g., Alfresco, Nextcloud) or SQL Server on Linux.
  • Provide equivalent Bash or cross-platform CLI script examples for automation steps, alongside PowerShell.
  • Mention Linux-compatible tools for file replication and backup (e.g., rsync, scp) in addition to Windows tools like DFSR and AzCopy.
  • Clarify which steps are Windows-specific and offer Linux alternatives where possible.
  • Add examples and screenshots from Linux environments to balance representation.
  • Reference Azure Site Recovery support for Linux VMs and provide links to relevant documentation.
