Description

Use Case

Microsoft has released SQL server for Linux a couple of years ago. It is now a viable option to run the software on a non-Windows system. So it would make sense for the Puppet module to also support managing SQL server on Linux.

Describe the Solution You Would Like

The Puppet module's full functionality becomes available on Linux.

Describe Alternatives You've Considered

We have internally written a new module for managing SQL server on Linux with a minimal set of functionality.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the Puppet module's current platform support and how its SQL Server functionality is organized. Define the Linux support needed across the module, then verify that the module's full existing functionality works on Linux.
