Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. It exclusively discusses connecting Windows file servers to Azure File Sync, with no mention of Linux servers or cross-platform scenarios. All configuration examples and tooling references (e.g., PowerShell cmdlets like Set-StorageSyncProxyConfiguration and Resolve-DnsName) are Windows-centric. There are no Linux or cross-platform command examples, and the use of Windows terminology and tools is pervasive throughout the page.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state Azure File Sync's platform support and limitations (e.g., if Linux is unsupported, clarify early).
- Where possible, provide equivalent Linux commands (e.g., use 'dig' or 'nslookup' for DNS resolution) alongside PowerShell examples.
- Mention Linux networking and firewall configuration patterns, even if only to clarify that Azure File Sync is Windows-only.
- If Azure File Sync is Windows-only, add links or references to Azure Files documentation for Linux clients, and clarify alternative solutions for Linux environments.
- Avoid using Windows terminology and tools exclusively; provide cross-platform context or alternatives where relevant.
