Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. While it is focused on SAP HANA (which is Linux-centric), Windows tools and patterns are often mentioned first or exclusively (e.g., Azure PowerShell cmdlets are listed before Azure CLI, and Windows Server SOFS and failover clustering are referenced in high-availability scenarios). There is a lack of explicit Linux command-line or scripting examples, and some operational instructions (such as VM deployment) mention PowerShell before CLI, which is more commonly used in Linux environments. Although Linux is referenced (especially for SUSE and Red Hat), practical Linux-centric operational examples are sparse.
Recommendations:
- When listing deployment methods, mention Azure CLI before or alongside Azure PowerShell, as CLI is cross-platform and preferred by many Linux users.
- Provide explicit Linux shell command examples (e.g., using az CLI, bash scripts, or relevant Linux tools) for common operations such as VM deployment, storage configuration, and network setup.
- For high-availability and clustering, ensure Linux-first examples and guidance are given, especially since SAP HANA is most often deployed on Linux.
- When referencing Windows-specific tools or patterns (e.g., Windows Server SOFS, Windows failover cluster), always provide equivalent Linux solutions (e.g., Pacemaker, NFS, or Linux clustering) and ensure they are given equal prominence.
- Add more Linux-focused troubleshooting and operational guidance, such as systemd service management, log file locations, and common Linux networking commands.
- Review the ordering of instructions and examples to avoid implicit prioritization of Windows tools or workflows.
