Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows and PowerShell are mentioned as primary or exclusive methods for tasks (e.g., selecting automation accounts, excluding disks from replication, triggering failover), while Linux equivalents are not provided or are only briefly mentioned. Windows-specific tools and services (such as VSS, ADE for Windows, WSFC-based shared disks, and SQL Server extensions) are described in detail, whereas Linux support is either omitted, less detailed, or explicitly not supported (e.g., no Linux shared disk support). Linux examples and automation methods are largely missing.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Linux CLI (az CLI, Bash) examples alongside PowerShell for all automation and scripting tasks.
- Ensure Linux support is clearly documented for all features, or explicitly state limitations with context and alternatives.
- Include Linux-specific guidance and examples for disk encryption, app-consistent snapshots, and failover automation.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows are treated equally (e.g., mention both in feature support lists, not just Windows first).
- Where Windows tools (like VSS or PowerShell) are referenced, add Linux alternatives or note if none exist.
- Add more detail and examples for Linux scenarios, such as using custom scripts for app-consistency, and clarify support for Linux shared disks.
