Summary:
The documentation generally focuses on Oracle on Linux as the primary and recommended platform for SAP on Azure, with detailed configuration, tuning, and deployment guidance for Oracle Linux. However, there is some evidence of Windows bias in the structure and presentation: Windows-specific sections and tools (e.g., Windows Storage Spaces) are presented in dedicated sections, and Windows recommendations are summarized separately, sometimes after Linux. There are also references to Windows tools and patterns (e.g., NTFS, Windows Storage Spaces, Windows Tuning guides), and some configuration tables and examples are provided for Windows. However, Linux is clearly the preferred and more deeply documented platform, with more extensive examples and recommendations. There are few, if any, PowerShell or Windows command-line examples, but the Windows configuration is described in detail. In some cases, Windows considerations are mentioned after Linux, but the parity of detail is not always maintained.
Recommendations:
- Ensure that Linux and Windows configuration sections are equally detailed, with parallel structure and equivalent examples for both platforms.
- Where Windows-specific tools or patterns are mentioned (e.g., Storage Spaces, NTFS), provide Linux equivalents (e.g., LVM, ext4/XFS) in the same context.
- If providing configuration tables for Windows, ensure Linux tables are presented with the same level of detail and vice versa.
- Include example commands for both Linux (bash, systemctl, etc.) and Windows (PowerShell, cmd) where relevant, or clarify when a step is platform-specific.
- Review the order of presentation: if Linux is the primary supported platform, clarify this early and consistently, but avoid relegating Windows to an afterthoughtβensure both are treated as first-class options where supported.
- Where features are not supported on Windows (e.g., ASM), explicitly state this and provide alternative best practices for Windows users.
