Summary
The documentation is highly focused on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) and Pacemaker on Azure, with all configuration and operational examples using Linux commands and tools. However, there is a notable Windows bias in the following ways: (1) The only example for creating and attaching Azure shared disks is given in PowerShell, a Windows-centric tool, rather than Azure CLI or ARM templates, which are more cross-platform and native to Linux users. (2) In the 'Overview' and some cross-references, Windows is mentioned before Linux (e.g., 'virtual-machines-windows,virtual-network,storage' in metadata, and [virtual-machines-windows-maintenance] is referenced before [virtual-machines-linux-maintenance]). There are no missing Linux examples for the core SLES/Pacemaker content, but the disk provisioning step assumes PowerShell, which may be unfamiliar or unavailable to Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Provide Azure CLI examples for creating and attaching Azure shared disks, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and more familiar to Linux users.
  • Reorder references and metadata to mention Linux before Windows where appropriate, especially since the guide is Linux-specific.
  • Explicitly state that PowerShell examples are for illustration only and provide equivalent steps for Linux environments.
  • Where possible, include ARM/Bicep template snippets for infrastructure provisioning to ensure parity for users who prefer declarative approaches.
  • Audit other cross-references and links to ensure Linux documentation is not deprioritized or omitted in favor of Windows.
