Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on provisioning SMB volumes for Windows-based AKS workloads. All pod examples use Windows containers (IIS on Windows Server Core), and node selectors are set to Windows. There are no Linux pod/container examples, nor any discussion of mounting SMB volumes from Linux containers. The only usage examples for accessing the SMB share are via Windows tools (cmd.exe, dir). The documentation does not mention Linux compatibility, limitations, or provide Linux-specific guidance for SMB volumes.
Recommendations
- Add examples for Linux pods mounting SMB volumes, including sample manifests and verification steps using Linux commands (e.g., mount, ls, df).
- Clarify whether SMB volumes can be mounted by Linux containers in AKS, and document any prerequisites or limitations.
- Provide parity in troubleshooting and verification steps for both Windows and Linux pods.
- If SMB volumes are Windows-only, explicitly state this limitation early in the documentation.
- Include links or references to NFS documentation for Linux workloads, and guidance on choosing between SMB and NFS based on OS.
