Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows-style file paths (e.g., C:\SQLfiles\Default.ldf), using SQL Server (primarily a Windows workload) as the example, and omitting any mention of Linux-based SQL Server VMs or Linux file path conventions. There are no examples or notes for restoring SQL Server databases on Linux VMs, and all directory path examples use Windows syntax. No Linux tools, patterns, or considerations are mentioned.
Recommendations:
- Include examples of restoring SQL Server databases on Linux-based Azure VMs, using Linux file path conventions (e.g., /var/opt/mssql/data/).
- Add notes or sections that clarify any differences or additional steps required for SQL Server on Linux VMs.
- Where file paths are shown (such as in alternateDirectoryPaths), provide both Windows and Linux examples side by side.
- Explicitly state whether the documented process is supported and tested for both Windows and Linux SQL Server VMs, and highlight any OS-specific limitations.
- If PowerShell or Windows-specific tooling is referenced elsewhere, ensure parity by including Bash/CLI or Linux-native alternatives.
