Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. It focuses almost exclusively on Windows-centric technologies such as DFSR, Active Directory, and Azure File Sync (which is only supported on Windows servers). All step-by-step instructions and architectural recommendations are tailored to Windows environments, with no equivalent examples or guidance for Linux file servers. References to protocols (SMB) and mounting instructions link to Windows documentation, and Linux is only mentioned briefly as a client, not as a server or participant in replication or failover workflows.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance and examples for protecting Linux-based file servers using Azure Site Recovery, including step-by-step instructions.
- Include parity for Linux tools and patterns, such as rsync, NFS, or native Azure Files mounting from Linux VMs.
- Provide links to Linux documentation for mounting Azure file shares and performing disaster recovery operations.
- Clarify which features and workflows are Windows-only, and offer alternative approaches for Linux environments.
- Add sample scripts or automation for Linux failover and recovery scenarios, similar to those provided for Windows.
