Summary

The documentation assumes SQL Server is running on Windows VMs and only describes the use of Windows-specific extensions (AzureBackupWindowsWorkload, NT Service accounts, SqlIaaSExtension). There are no instructions or examples for SQL Server running on Linux VMs, nor any mention of Linux-specific considerations or tools. The documentation is Windows-centric both in technical details and in the absence of Linux parity.

Recommendations

Explicitly state whether the tutorial applies only to Windows-based SQL Server VMs or provide equivalent instructions for SQL Server on Linux VMs.
Include details about backup support, required extensions, and service accounts for SQL Server on Linux VMs (if supported).
Add Linux-specific examples, screenshots, and troubleshooting steps where applicable.
Clarify any differences in agent/extension installation, permissions, and backup/restore workflows for Linux-based SQL Server VMs.
If Linux is not supported, clearly state this at the top of the documentation to set expectations.
