Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows tools and terminology (e.g., PowerShell, SMB, drive letters) are mentioned frequently and often before their Linux equivalents. PowerShell is listed as a primary scripting tool, and Windows-centric protocols (SMB) and patterns (drive letter mounting) are described in detail, while Linux/NFS usage is referenced but not explained or exemplified to the same extent. There are no explicit Linux shell or scripting examples, and Linux tools are not highlighted equally alongside Windows tools.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux shell (bash) and macOS terminal examples alongside PowerShell for common tasks, such as mounting Azure Files or interacting with Blob Storage.
  • List Linux tools (e.g., curl, sftp, rsync, mount) and their usage for Azure Storage operations, especially in sections discussing data transfer and file mounting.
  • When describing protocols (e.g., SMB, NFS), ensure Linux/NFS is mentioned with equal detail and provide links to Linux-specific documentation or guides.
  • Avoid Windows-first phrasing (e.g., referencing drive letters or PowerShell before alternatives); instead, present cross-platform options together.
  • Highlight Azure CLI usage with Linux/macOS examples, not just as a generic tool.
  • Add explicit guidance for Linux authentication patterns (e.g., Kerberos for NFS, Linux AD integration) where relevant.
  • Ensure that all tools listed (e.g., AzCopy, Storage Explorer) are described as cross-platform and provide installation/use instructions for Linux.
