Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows, with explicit statements that SAP does not support SQL Server on Linux for SAP workloads. All examples, recommendations, and configuration steps are Windows-centric, referencing Windows Server, NTFS, Windows command line tools, and Windows-specific Azure VM images. No Linux equivalents or alternatives are provided, and Linux is only mentioned to clarify its lack of support. This creates a significant barrier for Linux users, who cannot use the guidance for SAP workloads with SQL Server in Azure.
Recommendations
- Clearly state at the beginning that SAP workloads on SQL Server in Azure are only supported on Windows, and link to documentation for Linux-based SAP deployments (e.g., with other DBMSs) if available.
- Provide a separate section or page for SQL Server on Linux in Azure, even if only to clarify support boundaries and offer basic deployment guidance for non-SAP workloads.
- Where possible, reference Linux equivalents for general SQL Server on Azure VM deployment (outside SAP context), to help users understand the differences.
- If SAP support for SQL Server on Linux changes in the future, update the documentation to include Linux-specific examples, tools, and configuration steps.
