Summary
The documentation presents Active Directory (a Windows-centric directory service) as the first and most prominent option for configuring directory services in Azure HPC Cache. The AD section is detailed and appears before Linux/UNIX alternatives (flat file and LDAP). Windows-specific terminology and tools (Active Directory, AD administrator, DNS domain name) are used extensively, while Linux/UNIX equivalents are mentioned later and with less detail. No PowerShell examples are present, but the ordering and emphasis suggest a Windows bias.
Recommendations
- Reorder sections to present Linux/UNIX options (flat file, LDAP) before or alongside Active Directory.
- Provide equal detail and guidance for configuring flat file and LDAP sources, including troubleshooting tips and best practices.
- Explicitly mention Linux/macOS compatibility and use cases in the introduction.
- Add examples or scenarios for Linux/macOS environments, such as integrating with OpenLDAP or NIS.
- Clarify that Active Directory is not required and highlight alternatives for non-Windows environments.
