Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias, especially in the Azure File Sync section, which is exclusively for Windows file servers and Windows protocols. Windows tools and protocols (SMB, NTFS, Windows Server) are mentioned first and in detail, while Linux/NFS scenarios are referenced but not explained with equivalent depth or examples. Scripted transfer tools mention Azure PowerShell before Azure CLI, and graphical tools are described generically without platform parity details. There are no explicit Linux/macOS command-line examples or guidance for Linux-specific migration scenarios.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux/NFS migration examples and workflows, especially for Azure File Sync alternatives.
- Provide parity in command-line examples for both Windows (PowerShell, Robocopy) and Linux/macOS (Bash, Rsync, DistCP).
- Clarify which tools are cross-platform and provide platform-specific installation and usage notes.
- Include Linux/macOS-specific troubleshooting and best practices for migration.
- List Azure CLI before or alongside PowerShell to avoid Windows-first impression.
