Summary
The documentation page presents Active Directory (a Windows-centric directory service) as the first and most prominent option for configuring directory services in Azure HPC Cache. The AD section is detailed and appears before Linux/UNIX alternatives (flat file and LDAP). There is a notable emphasis on Windows tools and terminology, such as AD administrator credentials and domain joining, while Linux/UNIX options are described more briefly and without equivalent depth or troubleshooting guidance.
Recommendations
- Reorder the configuration options to present Linux/UNIX alternatives (flat file and LDAP) before or alongside Active Directory, rather than after.
- Provide equally detailed setup instructions and troubleshooting tips for flat file and LDAP configurations, including example file formats and common issues.
- Include explicit Linux/UNIX command-line examples for preparing and uploading /etc/passwd and /etc/group files.
- Add guidance for integrating with common Linux identity management solutions (e.g., FreeIPA, OpenLDAP) and mention their use cases.
- Clarify that Azure HPC Cache supports both Windows and Linux environments equally, and avoid language that implies AD is the default or preferred choice.
