Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias in several ways. References to Azure File Sync (a Windows-only tool) are prominent and appear early, with links to Windows-centric recovery guides. Examples and instructions for querying the Last Sync Time property mention Azure PowerShell first, and do not provide explicit Linux or cross-platform CLI examples inline. The documentation does not mention Linux-specific tools or patterns for mounting/unmounting SMB/NFS shares, nor does it provide parity for Linux failover or recovery scenarios. Overall, Windows tools and patterns are referenced before or instead of Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit Linux examples for all operations, especially for querying properties (e.g., using Azure CLI or REST API from Linux).
- Include guidance and examples for mounting/unmounting SMB/NFS shares on Linux clients during failover and recovery.
- Mention Azure File Sync's Windows-only nature clearly, and offer alternative strategies for Linux environments.
- Ensure that instructions for initiating failover and checking sync status are shown for both PowerShell and Azure CLI, with CLI examples given equal prominence.
- Add a section or callouts for Linux-specific disaster recovery considerations and best practices.
