Summary
The documentation provides comprehensive instructions for both NFS (Linux) and SMB (Windows) dual-protocol volumes in AKS. However, the SMB example is exclusively Windows-focused, with pod manifests using Windows containers (IIS), nodeSelector for Windows nodes, and Windows shell commands (cmd.exe, dir). There are no SMB pod examples for Linux containers, nor guidance for mounting SMB volumes on Linux nodes, despite SMB being supported on Linux via the CSI driver. The SMB section implicitly prioritizes Windows usage and tools.
Recommendations
- Add SMB pod manifest examples for Linux containers, demonstrating mounting SMB volumes on Linux nodes.
- Include Linux shell commands (e.g., bash, ls, df) for verifying SMB mounts in Linux pods, alongside Windows examples.
- Clarify in the SMB section that SMB volumes can be mounted on both Windows and Linux nodes, and provide parity in instructions.
- Consider reordering or parallelizing examples so that both Linux and Windows use cases are equally represented for SMB.
