Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments. Only Windows Server operating systems are listed as supported, and it is explicitly stated that Linux is not supported. All examples and references (such as PowerShell) are Windows-centric, and there is no mention of Linux tools, commands, or equivalent workflows. The documentation assumes the reader is operating in a Windows environment and does not provide parity or guidance for Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Clearly state early in the document that only Windows is supported, and provide a roadmap or link to Linux support if/when available.
- If Linux support is planned, include a section outlining expected parity and timelines.
- Where PowerShell or Windows tools are mentioned, note the absence of Linux/CLI alternatives and provide equivalent Linux guidance if/when available.
- Consider adding a FAQ or explicit callout for Linux users, clarifying the current limitations and suggesting alternative backup strategies for SQL Server on Linux in Azure VMs.
- Monitor and update the documentation promptly if/when Linux support is introduced, ensuring examples and instructions are provided for both platforms.
