Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. All examples and instructions are focused on Windows Server environments, with repeated references to Windows file servers and exclusive use of PowerShell cmdlets for configuration tasks. There are no Linux-specific examples, nor is there mention of Linux support or equivalent Linux tools for Azure File Sync. The documentation assumes the reader is operating in a Windows ecosystem and does not address cross-platform scenarios.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state platform support for Azure File Sync, clarifying whether Linux servers are supported or not.
- If Linux is supported, provide equivalent instructions and examples for Linux environments, including relevant tools (e.g., shell commands, configuration files, Linux networking/firewall settings).
- Include Linux-specific guidance for proxy configuration, firewall rules, and DNS setup, using common Linux utilities (e.g., curl, iptables, systemd-resolved, etc.).
- When demonstrating DNS resolution, provide both PowerShell and Linux command examples (e.g., dig, nslookup).
- If Azure File Sync is Windows-only, add a prominent note at the beginning of the documentation clarifying this limitation, and suggest alternatives for Linux users (such as mounting Azure Files directly via SMB/NFS).
