Summary:
The documentation page exhibits a Windows-centric bias. It assumes SQL Server VMs are Windows-based, references Windows-specific tools and extensions (e.g., AzureBackupWindowsWorkload, NT Service accounts), and provides connectivity troubleshooting scripts only for Windows. There are no examples or guidance for Linux-based SQL Server VMs, nor mention of Linux-specific requirements or differences.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly state whether the instructions apply to both Windows and Linux SQL Server VMs, or clarify if only Windows is supported.
- If Linux-based SQL Server on Azure VMs is supported, add parallel sections or notes for Linux, including prerequisites (e.g., Linux VM Agent, .NET requirements if any), service account equivalents, and extension installation.
- Provide Linux-specific troubleshooting scripts or guidance, similar to the Windows connectivity test scripts.
- Reference Linux documentation for VM extensions and agent installation where appropriate.
- When mentioning tools or extensions (e.g., AzureBackupWindowsWorkload, NT Service\AzureWLBackupPluginSvc), clarify Linux equivalents or note if not applicable.
- Include CLI or shell-based examples for Linux where PowerShell or Windows UI steps are described.
- Review and update all screenshots and step-by-step instructions to indicate any OS-specific differences.
