Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. While Azure CLI and Bash examples are provided for most steps, Windows-centric tools (PowerShell, Windows file servers) are referenced first or exclusively in key sections. The Storage Sync Service is described as being for 'Windows file servers', and some validation and management steps (especially for Storage Sync Service private endpoints) only show PowerShell commands, with no Linux/macOS equivalents. The CLI tab for disabling the Storage Sync Service public endpoint explicitly states that Azure CLI does not support this operation, and only PowerShell is available, leaving Linux/macOS users without a direct solution.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux/macOS instructions for all PowerShell-only steps, especially for Storage Sync Service management and validation.
- Include cross-platform alternatives or note workarounds for CLI limitations (e.g., using REST API or Azure Portal for operations not supported in CLI).
- Clarify whether Azure File Sync can be used with non-Windows servers, or explicitly state its Windows-only nature earlier in the documentation.
- When showing output examples, include Linux/macOS terminal output alongside Windows output for commands like nslookup.
- Avoid language that assumes Windows as the default platform (e.g., 'registered servers, which are Windows file servers...').
