Summary
The documentation exclusively describes migration using Robocopy, a Windows-only tool, and instructs users to deploy a Windows VM. No Linux/macOS alternatives or cross-platform tools are mentioned, and all examples and steps are Windows-centric. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users who may wish to perform similar migrations.
Recommendations
- Add instructions and examples for migrating files using cross-platform tools such as AzCopy, rsync (when SMB mounts are available), or other supported utilities.
- Clarify whether the migration method is strictly Windows-only or if alternatives exist for Linux/macOS environments.
- Provide guidance for mounting SMB Azure file shares on Linux/macOS and performing file migration using native tools.
- Consider reordering or supplementing the documentation to mention cross-platform options before or alongside Windows-specific instructions.
