Summary
The documentation shows a moderate Windows bias, especially in the SMB/Continuous Availability section, where only Windows workloads are supported and Linux equivalents are not mentioned. Windows tools and workloads (e.g., FSLogix, Microsoft SQL Server, MSIX app attach) are listed for SMB CA, with explicit exclusion of Linux SQL Server. In the Boomi section, SMB is recommended for Windows VMs and NFS for Linux, but the SMB guidance is more detailed. The 'Mount SMB volumes for Windows VMs' link is present, but there is no equivalent for Linux. Linux/NFS use cases are discussed (IBM MQ, ActiveMQ, Boomi), but SMB guidance is Windows-centric and Linux parity is lacking for SMB scenarios.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit guidance or examples for Linux clients using SMB, or clarify support limitations for Linux SMB workloads.
  • Add a 'Mount SMB volumes for Linux VMs' link or section, or state if this is unsupported.
  • When listing supported workloads for SMB Continuous Availability, clarify if Linux equivalents are unsupported and why.
  • Ensure parity in example depth and clarity for both Windows and Linux scenarios, especially for SMB.
  • Consider including more Linux/NFS-focused examples or best practices where possible.
