Summary
The documentation page exhibits a notable Windows bias. It repeatedly references Windows authentication, Windows-specific concepts (UNC paths, domain/username/password patterns), and Windows tools (SQL Server Data Tools, SQL Server Management Studio, dtutil). There are no Linux/macOS-specific instructions, nor any mention of how non-Windows users might interact with these features. All examples and credential patterns are Windows-centric, and the documentation assumes the use of Windows-based file shares and authentication mechanisms.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit guidance for Linux/macOS users, including how to access Azure Files from non-Windows platforms (e.g., using SMB/CIFS mounts on Linux, or Azure CLI/SDKs).
  • Clarify whether Windows authentication is required or if alternatives (such as Azure AD, SAS tokens, or service principals) are supported and provide examples.
  • Include examples of mounting Azure Files or accessing SSIS packages from Linux/macOS environments.
  • Mention cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure Data Studio, Azure CLI) as alternatives to SSMS and SSDT where possible.
  • Reorder examples so that platform-neutral or cross-platform approaches are presented first, or at least alongside Windows-specific instructions.
