Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. While it covers both Windows and Linux high availability scenarios in referenced documents, the main text and examples often mention Windows-specific tools and procedures first or exclusively. For instance, the only automation script for network latency measurement is provided as a PowerShell script, with no mention of a Linux/bash alternative. The 'Next steps' section lists only Windows failover cluster guides, omitting Linux Pacemaker equivalents. Some cluster solution explanations refer to Windows Server Failover Clustering before Linux Pacemaker. This can give the impression that Windows is the primary or preferred platform, and Linux is secondary.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux/bash equivalents for all automation scripts and procedures (e.g., a bash script for network latency measurement alongside the PowerShell script).
- Ensure that references to high availability solutions mention Linux Pacemaker and Windows Server Failover Clustering equally and in parallel, rather than listing Windows first.
- In the 'Next steps' section, add links to Linux high availability guides (e.g., clustering SAP ASCS/SCS with Pacemaker on SUSE/Red Hat).
- Where possible, use cross-platform terminology (e.g., 'cluster solution' instead of 'Windows failover cluster') and clarify when instructions apply to both Windows and Linux.
- When mentioning tools or scripts, specify their compatibility (e.g., 'This script is available in both PowerShell for Windows and bash for Linux').
