Summary:
The documentation for Azure NetApp Files demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Features and enhancements related to Windows technologies (such as SMB, Active Directory, Windows File Explorer, and Windows-specific tools) are frequently mentioned, often before or in more detail than their Linux/NFS equivalents. Many feature descriptions focus on Windows-centric use cases (e.g., FSLogix, Citrix, SQL Server on Windows, Windows client behaviors), and some features are described primarily in terms of their impact on Windows environments. While Linux/NFS features are present and some Linux tools (like AzAcSnap) are mentioned, Windows terminology and workflows are more prominent and sometimes prioritized.
Recommendations:
- Ensure that for every Windows/SMB/Active Directory example or feature description, an equivalent Linux/NFS/LDAP example or use case is provided, ideally with parity in detail and placement.
- When describing features that apply to both Windows and Linux (e.g., dual-protocol, quotas, snapshots), present both perspectives equally, and avoid defaulting to Windows terminology (such as referencing Windows File Explorer without mentioning Linux file browsers or CLI tools).
- Add Linux/NFS-focused scenarios and examples where missing, especially for features currently described only in Windows/SMB/Active Directory terms (e.g., access-based enumeration, non-browsable shares, file access logs).
- Where Windows tools or workflows are referenced (e.g., PowerShell, Windows File Explorer), include Linux equivalents (e.g., shell commands, Linux file managers) side-by-side.
- Review the order of protocol mentions (e.g., NFS vs. SMB) to avoid always listing Windows/SMB first, and alternate or balance their presentation.
- Highlight Linux-native tools and integration points (e.g., NFSv4.1 Kerberos, POSIX ACLs, Linux client behaviors) with the same prominence as Windows features.
