Summary:
The documentation exhibits a mild Windows bias. In several sections, Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as Windows Server Failover Cluster and SMB/UNC path backup examples) are discussed in more detail or presented first. The Windows high-availability solution is described with explicit references to Azure shared disks and WSFC, while the Linux equivalent (Pacemaker with Azure NetApp Files) is mentioned but with less detail and no command-line or configuration examples. The backup section provides a concrete UNC path example for Windows but omits a corresponding Linux/NFS example. The overall structure often presents Windows options before Linux, and some advanced features (like Azure shared disks) are available only for Windows, but this is a platform limitation rather than a documentation bias.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Linux/NFS backup path examples (e.g., show a sample BACKUP DATABASE command using an NFS mount path).
- Balance the level of detail between Windows and Linux high-availability solutions, possibly by including more information or links for Pacemaker configuration.
- Where possible, present Windows and Linux options in parallel or in a neutral order, rather than consistently listing Windows first.
- Explicitly mention any platform limitations (e.g., Azure shared disks not available for Linux) as Azure constraints, not as documentation omissions.
- Include Linux-specific automation or scripting examples where Windows PowerShell or WSFC are discussed.
