Summary:
The documentation for Azure NetApp Files exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Features and enhancements related to Windows technologies (such as SMB, Active Directory, and Windows-specific tools) are frequently mentioned, often before or in greater detail than their Linux/NFS counterparts. Several features are described primarily in the context of Windows environments (e.g., SMB Continuous Availability, Access-based Enumeration, non-browsable shares, and integration with Windows tools like Windows File Explorer). In some cases, Windows/SMB scenarios are explained in depth, while Linux/NFS features are mentioned more briefly or as secondary considerations. However, there is also significant Linux/NFS and dual-protocol coverage, and some Linux-specific tools (like AzAcSnap) are highlighted, indicating an effort toward cross-platform support.
Recommendations:
- Ensure that for every Windows/SMB example or feature description, equivalent Linux/NFS examples and scenarios are provided with equal detail and prominence.
- When introducing features that are protocol-specific (e.g., SMB vs. NFS), present both protocols together, or alternate which is mentioned first to avoid a consistent Windows-first ordering.
- Where Windows tools or workflows (e.g., Windows File Explorer, Active Directory) are referenced, include parallel Linux tools or workflows (e.g., Linux file managers, LDAP, Kerberos) and provide usage guidance.
- Expand documentation for Linux/NFS-specific features to match the depth and clarity of Windows/SMB sections, including troubleshooting, best practices, and integration tips.
- Review language to ensure that Linux/NFS use cases are not treated as secondary or optional, but as first-class scenarios.
