Summary
The documentation page provides a broad overview of Azure Storage migration tools, but several sections and examples show a Windows bias. Windows-centric tools (e.g., Azure File Sync, Robocopy, PowerShell) are described in detail and often before their Linux equivalents. Linux-native tools (e.g., Rsync, DistCP) are mentioned but with less detail and appear later in the tables. Some sections, such as Azure File Sync, are Windows-only by design, but the overall guidance and examples tend to prioritize Windows scenarios and tools, with limited parity for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
- Provide equal detail and step-by-step examples for Linux/macOS migration scenarios, especially for tools like Rsync, DistCP, and NFS-based migrations.
- Include explicit Linux command-line examples (e.g., using Rsync, AzCopy on Linux, bash scripting) alongside Windows/PowerShell examples.
- Mention and link to Linux-specific documentation for agent deployment, tool installation, and troubleshooting.
- Clarify which tools are cross-platform and highlight their usage on Linux/macOS (e.g., AzCopy, Data Box Gateway, Azure Data Factory).
- Ensure tables and recommendations do not default to Windows tools or protocols unless the scenario is inherently Windows-only.
