Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All examples and instructions use Windows-specific tools (SSMS, dtutil, cmdkey, net use), Windows file paths, and command prompt syntax. There are no Linux or cross-platform alternatives mentioned, and the workflow assumes the user is operating in a Windows environment. Linux users are not provided with equivalent steps or tools, making the documentation inaccessible for non-Windows platforms.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-compatible instructions for connecting to Azure Files (e.g., using smbclient, mount.cifs, or Azure CLI).
  • Include dtutil usage examples on Linux, or clarify if dtutil is unavailable and suggest alternatives (such as Azure Data Factory REST API, Azure CLI, or PowerShell Core on Linux).
  • Mention cross-platform tools for managing SSIS packages, or clarify platform limitations.
  • Add notes about SSMS alternatives for Linux (such as Azure Data Studio, if applicable), or clarify that SSMS is Windows-only.
  • Reorder sections or add explicit notes to avoid assuming Windows as the default platform.
  • Where Windows command prompt syntax is used, offer Bash equivalents for Linux/macOS.
