Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows tools and patterns (cmdkey, net use) are described in detail with explicit examples, while Linux equivalents (such as mounting Azure Files via SMB or NFS) are not provided. The azcopy examples use Windows-style syntax and switches, and Windows mounting instructions precede any Linux mounting guidance. There is a lack of parity in example depth and clarity for Linux users, especially regarding mounting Azure Files and file system operations.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux examples for mounting Azure Files shares (e.g., using mount.cifs or NFS) in Batch pool VMs, including sample command lines and configuration steps.
  • Provide azcopy examples using Linux shell syntax and flags, clarifying differences in usage between platforms.
  • Ensure that for every Windows-specific tool or pattern mentioned (cmdkey, net use), the Linux equivalent is described with equal detail and visibility.
  • Reorder sections or provide parallel instructions so that Linux and Windows approaches are presented side-by-side, improving discoverability for Linux users.
  • Include troubleshooting tips and best practices for Linux environments, such as permissions, credential management, and persistent mounts.
