Summary
The documentation implicitly assumes a Windows environment by referencing 'server endpoints' and on-premises servers in the context of Azure File Sync, which is a Windows-only feature. There are no Linux-specific instructions, examples, or clarifications, and all operational guidance is inherently Windows-centric. No Linux tools, commands, or monitoring approaches are mentioned, and the documentation does not clarify the lack of Linux support.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state that Azure File Sync and its cloud tiering features are only supported on Windows Server, and clarify that Linux is not supported.
  • If any Linux support is planned or available (e.g., via SMB clients or alternative monitoring), provide equivalent Linux instructions or examples.
  • Where possible, use neutral language (e.g., 'on-premises server' vs. 'Windows server') and clarify platform requirements.
  • If monitoring via Azure Monitor is cross-platform, provide examples or notes relevant to Linux-based clients or environments.
  • Add a section or note addressing Linux users, explaining the current limitations and suggesting alternative solutions if applicable.
