Summary:
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows Server Failover Clustering concepts and terminology, with exclusive reference to Windows tools and patterns (e.g., SMB file shares, Windows Server clustering). There are no examples or mentions of Linux-based clustering, witness configuration, or cross-platform considerations. All technical details, requirements, and setup instructions assume a Windows environment.
Recommendations:
- Include references to Linux-based clustering solutions (e.g., Pacemaker, Corosync) and how witness/quorum is handled in those environments, if supported on Azure Stack Edge.
- Provide examples or notes for configuring a cluster witness using Linux-compatible file shares (e.g., NFS) or cloud-based witness solutions that are OS-agnostic.
- Clarify whether Azure Stack Edge supports only Windows-based clustering, or if Linux-based clusters are also supported, and provide parity in documentation if so.
- If only Windows is supported, explicitly state this limitation early in the documentation to set expectations for cross-platform users.
