Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias in several ways: Windows terminology and tools (such as Azure File Sync, Active Directory Domain Services, and PowerShell) are mentioned first or exclusively in key sections. The caching solution (Azure File Sync) is only available for Windows Server, and Windows-centric authentication and networking patterns are emphasized. While Linux is mentioned (especially for NFS and SMB support), examples, recommendations, and tooling references are predominantly Windows-focused, with limited or no equivalent Linux guidance or examples provided.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-specific examples and guidance for mounting SMB and NFS shares, including recommended tools and commands (e.g., mount.cifs, mount.nfs, smbclient).
- Highlight Linux-compatible caching or synchronization solutions, or clarify the lack thereof and suggest alternatives for Linux environments.
- Ensure parity in authentication documentation by including detailed steps for configuring identity-based authentication for Linux clients, not just referencing AD DS.
- Include CLI and scripting examples using Bash or Linux-native tools alongside PowerShell examples.
- Order OS mentions in tables and lists alphabetically or by protocol relevance, rather than defaulting to Windows first.
- Explicitly state limitations or differences for Linux environments where features (such as Azure File Sync) are Windows-only, and suggest workarounds or alternatives.
