Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by requiring a Windows computer for the Data Sync Agent, referencing only Windows-based tools (such as the Data Sync Agent and PowerShell), and omitting any mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives. There are no instructions or examples for Linux users, nor is there guidance for running the Data Sync Agent or related tooling on Linux systems.
Recommendations:
- Provide explicit guidance on whether the Data Sync Agent can be run on Linux (natively or via compatibility layers such as Wine or containers), or clarify its platform limitations.
- Include Linux-based examples or alternatives for all steps, such as using Azure CLI or REST APIs where possible, instead of only PowerShell.
- Mention any cross-platform data sync tools or approaches if available, or suggest workarounds for Linux users.
- Clearly state platform requirements and, if Windows is mandatory, explain why and provide links to feature requests or roadmap items for Linux support.
