Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows/PowerShell examples are presented first and in more detail, Windows-specific tools (such as Azure File Sync and PowerShell) are mentioned and explained, and Linux equivalents are either absent or only briefly referenced. The guidance for geo-redundancy for SSD file shares centers on Windows file servers and Azure File Sync, with no mention of Linux-based alternatives. While an Azure CLI example is provided, it is secondary to the PowerShell example and requires additional tooling (jq) without further explanation. There is no discussion of mounting Azure Files from Linux clients or using Linux-native tools for redundancy or failover.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-specific examples and workflows alongside Windows/PowerShell, such as using Bash scripts, cron jobs, or Linux file servers for geo-redundancy.
- Include guidance for mounting Azure Files on Linux clients (e.g., using SMB or NFS from Linux), and discuss failover/remounting procedures for Linux systems.
- Mention Linux-native tools (e.g., rsync, cron, systemd timers) for custom redundancy or backup solutions.
- Present Azure CLI and Linux workflows before or alongside PowerShell/Windows examples to ensure parity.
- Clarify the requirements and installation steps for jq and other Linux tools in the CLI example.
- Discuss Azure File Sync alternatives for Linux environments, or explicitly state limitations and recommend best practices for Linux users.
