Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, with all examples and instructions referencing Windows Server, PowerShell cmdlets, and Windows-specific tools. There are no Linux-specific examples, instructions, or mentions of Linux support for Azure File Sync. PowerShell is used exclusively for configuration tasks, and Windows terminology is prevalent throughout the document.
Recommendations
- Add explicit statements about Azure File Sync support (or lack thereof) for Linux servers, clarifying platform compatibility.
- Provide equivalent Linux examples where possible, such as using Bash, curl, or Azure CLI for networking and DNS configuration.
- Include Linux tools (e.g., dig, nslookup on Linux) in DNS resolution examples, not just PowerShell.
- If Azure File Sync is Windows-only, make this clear early in the documentation and provide guidance for Linux users on alternative solutions (such as mounting Azure Files directly via SMB/NFS).
- Balance the order of instructions and examples so that Linux and cross-platform tools are mentioned alongside or before Windows-specific ones where relevant.
