Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, specifically Windows Server and Windows-based tools. All examples, instructions, and screenshots are for Windows Server 2019 Datacenter VMs, with no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives. The use of Windows-specific tools such as PowerShell, Internet Explorer, and Windows Server Manager is pervasive, and there are no Linux equivalents or parity guidance provided.
Recommendations
- Add a section clarifying platform support, explicitly stating whether Azure File Sync is Windows-only or if Linux support is available/planned.
- If Linux support exists, provide parallel instructions and examples for deploying Azure File Sync on Linux servers, including relevant tools and commands.
- Where possible, offer cross-platform alternatives to Windows-specific tools (e.g., use Azure CLI instead of PowerShell, or provide both).
- Include a comparison table of supported operating systems and features to help users understand platform limitations.
- If Azure File Sync is Windows-only, make this clear early in the documentation to set expectations and direct Linux users to alternative solutions.
