Summary:
The documentation assumes a Windows-centric environment for SQL Server Always On Availability Groups, with no mention of Linux-based SQL Server deployments. All instructions, terminology, and backup tooling (such as the workload backup extension and Recovery Services vault registration) implicitly target Windows VMs. There are no examples, notes, or guidance for Linux-based SQL Server AGs, which are supported by SQL Server and Azure. The documentation also refers to concepts and error codes typical of Windows deployments, and does not address Linux-specific considerations or tools.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly state whether the guidance applies to both Windows and Linux SQL Server AGs, or clarify any limitations.
- Add sections or notes describing how to back up SQL Server AGs running on Linux VMs, including any differences in agent installation, registration, and supported features.
- Provide Linux-specific examples, such as using shell commands for agent installation, or referencing Linux file paths and system services.
- Mention any differences in error codes, troubleshooting steps, or backup/restore workflows for Linux-based AGs.
- Ensure parity in terminology and instructions so that Linux administrators can follow the documentation without ambiguity.
