Summary
The documentation exhibits some Windows bias, particularly in the SMB-focused sections. Windows workloads and tools are mentioned first or exclusively in several places, especially regarding SMB Transparent Failover and supported workloads. Linux equivalents for SMB-based scenarios are either omitted or explicitly marked as unsupported. In the Boomi section, Windows is prioritized for SMB, while Linux is mentioned for NFS, but there are no detailed Linux/SMB examples. The 'Next steps' section provides a link for mounting SMB volumes only for Windows VMs, with no equivalent for Linux, and the SMB application support list excludes Linux SQL Server.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux examples or guidance for SMB-based scenarios, or clarify if/why they are unsupported.
  • When listing supported workloads or tools, avoid listing Windows-only options first; instead, present both Linux and Windows options together or clarify parity.
  • Add a 'Mount SMB volumes for Linux VMs' link or section in the 'Next steps' area, or state if this is unsupported and why.
  • For each application scenario (e.g., SQL Server, Boomi), include Linux guidance where possible, or clearly state support limitations.
  • Review and balance the order of protocol/tool mentions (e.g., NFS and SMB) to avoid implicit prioritization of Windows/SMB.
