Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias, particularly in the coverage of features such as Shared Disk support, which is described exclusively for Windows Server Failover Clusters (WSFC) with no mention of Linux-based clustering solutions. OS support lists only Windows Server versions, and PowerShell support is highlighted without mention of equivalent Linux automation tools. Linux support is mentioned later and only in the context of a specific preview feature, rather than as a primary scenario. There are no Linux command-line or tool examples, and Windows-centric technologies (e.g., Hyper-V, WSFC) are described in detail, while Linux equivalents are absent.
Recommendations:
- Include equivalent Linux examples and scenarios wherever Windows features are described, such as support for Linux clustering solutions (e.g., Pacemaker/Corosync) when discussing shared disks.
- List Linux OS support alongside Windows in feature tables and descriptions, or explicitly state if a feature is Windows-only.
- Provide Linux command-line examples (e.g., Bash, Azure CLI) in addition to or instead of PowerShell where automation is discussed.
- Mention Linux-native tools and patterns (such as systemd, shell scripts, or Linux DR tools) where relevant.
- Ensure that Linux support is given equal prominence in update summaries and not relegated to secondary or preview status unless truly not available.
