Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows-centric tools and scenarios (such as Azure File Sync for Windows file servers) are described in detail and appear before Linux/NFS equivalents. Windows protocols (SMB) and tools (Robocopy, PowerShell) are mentioned more prominently or exclusively, while Linux-native tools (rsync, DistCP) are listed later and with less detail. There is a lack of Linux-specific migration examples, especially for NFS or POSIX file servers, and PowerShell/Windows Server patterns are referenced without equivalent Bash/Linux guidance.
Recommendations
- Provide equal detail and step-by-step examples for Linux/NFS migration scenarios, including POSIX file servers and Linux-based NAS.
- Include Linux command-line examples (e.g., Bash, rsync, scp) alongside PowerShell/Robocopy examples for each migration tool.
- Highlight Linux-compatible tools and workflows (such as AzCopy on Linux, rsync, DistCP) earlier in the document, not just in summary tables.
- Add explicit guidance for migrating from Linux environments, including handling of NFS permissions, file attributes, and metadata.
- Ensure graphical and programmatic tool sections mention Linux support and provide instructions for Linux users (e.g., Azure CLI on Linux, SDKs in Python/Go).
- Balance the discussion of Windows and Linux protocols (SMB vs NFS) and clarify tool limitations or requirements for each OS.
