Summary
The documentation page is heavily focused on Windows Server, explicitly stating that Azure File Sync extends Azure Files to Windows Server and that the agent runs on Windows Server. There are no mentions of Linux support, Linux equivalents, or cross-platform considerations. All examples, performance metrics, and deployment guidance are given exclusively for Windows environments, with no reference to Linux tools, patterns, or compatibility.
Recommendations
- Clarify whether Azure File Sync supports only Windows Server or if there are plans for Linux support.
- If Linux is supported or planned, provide equivalent examples, deployment guidance, and performance metrics for Linux environments.
- Explicitly mention platform limitations and alternatives for Linux users, such as using Azure Files natively or other sync solutions.
- Add a section comparing Windows and Linux support, including any differences in agent capabilities, performance, and deployment steps.
- Ensure that cross-platform parity is addressed in future updates, with examples and documentation for both Windows and Linux where applicable.
