Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows-centric technologies and patterns, such as FSLogix, roaming user profiles, folder redirection, and SMB shares, all of which are primarily used in Windows environments. The examples and recommendations exclusively reference Windows tools and scenarios (e.g., VHD/VHDX, FSLogix, folder redirection), with no mention of Linux desktop environments, Linux authentication mechanisms, or how Azure Files could be used with Linux-based VDI solutions. There are no Linux-specific examples, nor is there guidance for non-Windows workloads.
Recommendations
- Add examples and guidance for using Azure Files with Linux-based VDI solutions (e.g., Citrix Linux VDA, VMware Horizon for Linux, or open-source VDI stacks).
- Include authentication and authorization scenarios relevant to Linux, such as integration with LDAP, Kerberos, or other identity providers commonly used in Linux environments.
- Provide sample mount commands and configuration steps for Linux clients (e.g., using mount.cifs, fstab, or SMB utilities) to access Azure Files.
- Discuss profile and home directory management for Linux users, including how Azure Files can be used for /home directories or application data.
- Balance the coverage of Windows-specific tools (FSLogix, folder redirection) with Linux equivalents or alternatives, where applicable.
