Summary:
The documentation page exclusively covers deployment, configuration, and operational guidance for SAP MaxDB, liveCache, and Content Server on Windows in Azure VMs. There is no mention of Linux support, Linux-specific instructions, or parity in tooling or examples. Windows tools and patterns (such as Windows Storage Pools/Spaces, VSS integration, Microsoft IIS) are referenced without Linux equivalents, and all recommendations and best practices are framed around Windows environments.
Recommendations:
- Add a section or parallel guidance for deploying SAP MaxDB, liveCache, and Content Server on Linux-based Azure VMs, including supported Linux distributions and versions.
- Provide Linux-specific storage configuration examples (e.g., using LVM, mdadm, or other Linux-native storage management tools) alongside or before Windows examples.
- Include backup and restore guidance for Linux, referencing Linux-compatible backup tools and methods (e.g., native MaxDB tools, cron jobs, or third-party Linux backup solutions).
- Mention and illustrate how to achieve similar high availability and performance configurations on Linux (e.g., using Linux RAID, LVM striping, or Azure Disk features).
- Reference Linux equivalents for any Windows-specific technologies (e.g., suggest Apache or Nginx as alternatives to IIS for Content Server, or describe how to integrate with Linux-native VSS alternatives if needed).
- Clearly indicate in the introduction whether Linux is supported or not, and if not, provide a rationale or roadmap for Linux support.
