Summary

The documentation page exhibits Windows bias by consistently mentioning Azure PowerShell before Azure CLI and other cross-platform tools when describing how to query properties or initiate failover. There are no explicit Linux or macOS-specific examples, nor are Linux tools or workflows (such as shell scripts or mounting/unmounting via Linux commands) discussed. The documentation references SMB (a Windows-centric protocol) more frequently than NFS, and Azure File Sync (a Windows-only feature) is highlighted without Linux alternatives.

Recommendations

Provide Linux-specific examples for key operations, such as querying the Last Sync Time property and initiating failover, using Azure CLI and REST API.
Explicitly mention and demonstrate how to mount/unmount Azure Files shares on Linux (e.g., using mount.cifs or mount.nfs), especially in failover scenarios.
Balance protocol coverage by including more NFS use cases and examples, not just SMB.
When listing tools (PowerShell, CLI, portal), alternate the order or provide parallel examples for both Windows and Linux environments.
Reference Linux disaster recovery best practices and link to relevant documentation for cross-platform parity.
