Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas. In the 'Ways to create snapshots' section, PowerShell is listed as a primary tool alongside Azure Portal, REST API, and Azure CLI, but there is no mention of Linux shell scripting or specific Linux tooling. The order of tools often places PowerShell before or alongside CLI, and there are no explicit Linux/Unix shell examples or references. Additionally, scripting examples reference a Microsoft blog post about SQL Server and T-SQL, which are Windows-centric technologies, without providing Linux/NFS-focused examples. There is no mention of Linux-native management patterns, and the documentation does not provide parity for Linux administrators.
Recommendations:
- Provide explicit Linux shell (bash) examples for snapshot management using Azure CLI, demonstrating commands in a Linux terminal context.
- Include references to Linux/Unix scripting and automation patterns (e.g., bash scripts, cron jobs) for automating snapshot operations.
- Ensure that tool lists do not always place PowerShell before CLI or REST API; consider listing CLI and REST API first, as they are cross-platform.
- Add examples or references for managing NFS volumes and snapshots from Linux clients, including mounting and accessing .snapshot directories.
- Reference Linux-native backup and restore workflows, especially for NFS volumes, and provide guidance for Linux administrators.
- Balance scripting examples by including both PowerShell and bash script samples where scripting is discussed.
