Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias by frequently mentioning Windows and Azure SQL Database before Linux and MySQL equivalents, especially in architecture and sizing sections. Windows-specific tools and services (e.g., Azure SQL Database, which is only supported for SAP BOBI on Windows) are highlighted, while Linux-specific guidance is less detailed or deferred to external links. There is a lack of Linux-specific examples or step-by-step instructions within the main document, with Linux deployment guidance relegated to a separate page.
Recommendations:
- Provide parallel Linux examples and guidance alongside Windows instructions within the main document, rather than referring users to a separate Linux page.
- When listing supported operating systems, alternate the order or present Windows and Linux options together to avoid implicit prioritization.
- Include Linux-specific tools, commands, and configuration steps (e.g., for file sharing, database setup, and high availability) directly in the main guide.
- Ensure that all Azure services and features discussed (such as storage and database options) clearly indicate Linux compatibility and any differences in implementation.
- Add explicit Linux architecture diagrams or callouts where implementation details diverge from Windows.
- Where Windows-only services are mentioned (e.g., Azure SQL Database for SAP BOBI), provide equivalent Linux alternatives and note any limitations or required workarounds.
