Summary
The documentation is generally Linux-focused and provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for enabling Kerberos authentication for Linux clients with Azure Files. However, there is evidence of Windows bias in two areas: (1) Windows-centric terminology and tooling are used throughout (e.g., references to NT ACLs, 'update ACLs through Windows', and reliance on Samba/Winbind to interact with Windows-style domains); (2) Windows tools and patterns are mentioned as the primary or only way to manage certain aspects (such as updating NT ACLs), with Linux alternatives described as 'minimal' or absent.
Recommendations
- Provide guidance or examples for managing NT ACLs directly from Linux, if possible, or reference open-source tools that can do so.
- Clarify which features or limitations are inherent to Azure Files versus those that are due to Windows-centric design, and suggest workarounds or alternatives for Linux users.
- Where Windows tools or patterns are referenced, offer Linux-native equivalents or explicitly state when no parity exists.
- Expand documentation on Linux tools for ACL management, even if limited, and link to relevant community resources.
- Consider adding a comparison table of Windows vs. Linux management capabilities for Azure Files to set expectations for cross-platform administrators.
