Summary
The documentation provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for both NFS (Linux) and SMB (Windows) volume provisioning in AKS with Azure NetApp Files. However, the SMB section is heavily oriented toward Windows usage: it exclusively demonstrates mounting SMB volumes in Windows pods (using IIS and Windows ServerCore images), uses Windows-specific commands (cmd.exe, dir), and sets nodeSelector for Windows nodes. There are no examples or guidance for mounting SMB volumes in Linux pods, nor any mention of Linux-compatible SMB usage. The SMB CSI driver installation instructions explicitly enable Windows support, and all verification steps for SMB are Windows-centric.
Recommendations
- Add examples for mounting SMB volumes in Linux pods, including sample YAML manifests and verification steps using Linux containers (e.g., Ubuntu, Alpine).
- Document any Linux-specific requirements or limitations for SMB volumes in AKS (e.g., supported images, mount options, troubleshooting).
- Include Linux command-line examples for verifying SMB mounts (e.g., using 'mount', 'df -h', 'ls') alongside Windows commands.
- Clarify in the SMB section that SMB volumes can be mounted by both Windows and Linux pods, if supported, or explicitly state any platform limitations.
- Present NFS and SMB instructions in parallel, with equal detail and visibility for both Linux and Windows use cases.
