Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias in several ways. Azure File Sync is described as working with 'registered servers, which are Windows file servers', with no mention of Linux support or alternatives. PowerShell is heavily used for examples and management tasks, and is often presented before Azure CLI. Some test outputs and instructions are shown specifically for Windows (e.g., nslookup output), and there are no Linux-specific examples or references to Linux file servers. Additionally, certain features (such as disabling the Storage Sync Service public endpoint) are only supported via PowerShell, with Azure CLI explicitly noted as unsupported, and no Linux-native alternatives are offered.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state platform limitations (e.g., Azure File Sync only supports Windows file servers) at the start of the documentation.
- Where possible, provide parity between PowerShell and Azure CLI instructions, and ensure CLI examples are fully functional on Linux/macOS.
- Include Linux/macOS-specific instructions and outputs (e.g., sample nslookup output from a Linux terminal).
- If features are Windows-only, clarify this in the documentation and suggest alternatives or workarounds for Linux users.
- Consider referencing cross-platform tools (such as REST API or SDKs) for management tasks that are currently PowerShell-only.
- Add a section or note about Azure Files usage from Linux systems, if relevant, and clarify the scope of Azure File Sync support.
