Summary:
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows-based high availability for SAP on Azure, specifically using Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) and Microsoft Scale-Out File Server. All examples, instructions, and code samples are for Windows environments, with exclusive use of PowerShell and Windows-specific tools. There is no mention of Linux-based high availability solutions, nor are any Linux commands, tools, or deployment patterns provided.
Recommendations:
- Add equivalent guidance for deploying SAP high availability on Linux, such as using Pacemaker/Corosync clusters and NFS for file sharing.
- Provide Linux-based command-line examples (e.g., Bash scripts, systemctl commands) alongside PowerShell examples.
- Reference Azure Resource Manager templates or automation scripts for Linux-based SAP HA deployments.
- Include a section comparing Windows and Linux HA approaches for SAP on Azure, with links to relevant documentation for both platforms.
- Clarify in the introduction that this guide is Windows-specific, and provide links to Linux-focused documentation for SAP HA on Azure.
