Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in the way it lists PowerShell as a primary tool for snapshot management, often mentioning it before or alongside Azure CLI and REST API, but without providing parity for Linux-specific tools or shell scripting. There are no Linux/Unix shell (bash) command examples or references, and scripting is only linked to a Microsoft Tech Community blog focused on SQL Server (a Windows-centric workload). The documentation does not provide explicit Linux/NFS client examples for snapshot operations, despite Azure NetApp Files' strong Linux/NFS use case.
Recommendations:
- Provide explicit bash/Azure CLI command examples for common snapshot operations, such as creating, listing, and deleting snapshots, alongside or before PowerShell examples.
- Include Linux/NFS client examples for restoring files from snapshots, such as using standard Linux commands (cp, rsync) to access the .snapshot directory.
- When listing tools for manual or automated snapshot management, avoid listing PowerShell first or exclusively; instead, present Azure CLI and REST API equally or before PowerShell, and mention bash scripting.
- Add references or links to Linux-focused documentation or community resources for managing Azure NetApp Files snapshots.
- Ensure that scripting examples are cross-platform, or provide both PowerShell and bash equivalents.
