Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. All command-line examples use PowerShell and Windows-centric tooling (Az.StorageSync PowerShell module). There are no Linux shell (bash/CLI) examples, nor any mention of Linux-native tools or workflows. The prerequisites and configuration steps assume the use of Windows servers or Azure Arc-enabled servers, with no guidance for Linux-based registered servers. The documentation consistently presents Windows/PowerShell approaches first and exclusively.
Recommendations
- Add Azure CLI (bash) examples for all PowerShell commands, enabling Linux and cross-platform users to perform the same operations.
- Clarify whether Azure File Sync supports Linux-based registered servers, and if so, provide explicit instructions for those scenarios.
- Include references to Linux authentication patterns and tools where relevant (e.g., az CLI, shell scripting).
- Ensure parity in troubleshooting and verification steps for Linux environments.
- Explicitly state OS requirements and limitations for Azure File Sync managed identity support, so Linux users know what is and isn't possible.
