Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments. All command-line examples use PowerShell, and the only agent referenced is the Azure File Sync agent, which is Windows-only. There are no Linux-specific instructions, tools, or examples, and the documentation assumes the use of Windows servers or Azure Arc-enabled servers (which also require Windows for Azure File Sync). The use of PowerShell and Windows-centric terminology throughout the page further reinforces the Windows bias.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state that Azure File Sync is currently only supported on Windows Server, if that is the case. If Linux support is planned or available, add equivalent instructions and examples for Linux environments.
- Provide parity in command-line examples by including Azure CLI or Bash instructions where possible, especially for identity and role assignment steps.
- Clarify the requirements and limitations for non-Windows environments (e.g., Azure Arc-enabled Linux servers) and provide guidance or alternatives for Linux users.
- If PowerShell is required, explain why and offer alternatives or workarounds for users on Linux or macOS.
- Add a section addressing cross-platform considerations, including any roadmap or links to Linux support if available.
