Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias. It heavily references Windows authentication, UNC paths, and Windows-centric tools (SSDT, SSMS, dtutil). All file path examples use Windows UNC format, and there is no mention of Linux/macOS equivalents or how to perform similar tasks on those platforms. The use of Windows authentication is presented as the default, and Windows tools are referenced exclusively for package creation and management. There are no Linux/macOS-specific instructions, nor is there guidance for users working outside the Windows ecosystem.
Recommendations
  • Include explicit guidance for Linux/macOS users, such as how to access Azure Files from those platforms (e.g., using SMB/CIFS mounts, azcopy, or REST APIs).
  • Provide examples of file paths in Linux/macOS format where applicable, or clarify cross-platform compatibility of UNC paths.
  • Mention alternatives to Windows authentication (such as Azure AD, OAuth, or local credentials) and clarify their support and configuration.
  • Reference cross-platform tools for SSIS package creation and management, or clarify if Windows-only tools are required.
  • Add a section or notes addressing platform limitations and workarounds for non-Windows users.
