Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All command-line examples use PowerShell and Windows-centric tools (Az.StorageSync PowerShell module), with no mention of Linux shell equivalents or cross-platform CLI options. The prerequisites and configuration steps assume the use of Windows servers or Azure Arc-enabled servers, and do not provide guidance for Linux-based environments. The documentation also references Windows VM pivots and does not mention Linux VMs or agents, further reinforcing the Windows-first approach.
Recommendations
- Provide Azure CLI examples alongside PowerShell for all command-line instructions, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and works on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
- Explicitly mention support for Linux-based registered servers, including steps for enabling managed identities on Linux VMs and Azure Arc-enabled Linux servers.
- Reference Linux-specific documentation pivots (e.g., how to configure managed identities on Linux VMs) and link to relevant guides.
- Clarify whether the Azure File Sync agent is available for Linux, and if not, state this limitation clearly.
- Where possible, use generic terminology (e.g., 'command line' instead of 'PowerShell window') and avoid assuming a Windows environment by default.
