Summary
The documentation page provides a generally cross-platform approach for configuring a Site-to-Site VPN for Azure Files, with Azure Portal, PowerShell, and CLI instructions. However, there is a notable Windows bias in the 'Prerequisites' section, where Windows Server RRAS is mentioned as the only example of an on-premises VPN appliance, with no Linux alternatives suggested. Additionally, the example for retrieving the public IP address of the Azure VPN gateway is given only in PowerShell, with no CLI or Linux equivalent. While mounting instructions are linked for all major OSes, the initial guidance and examples tend to mention or prioritize Windows tools and patterns.
Recommendations
- In the 'Prerequisites' section, mention common Linux-based VPN appliances (e.g., strongSwan, OpenVPN, libreswan) as alternatives to Windows Server RRAS, and link to relevant configuration guides.
- When showing how to retrieve the public IP address of the Azure VPN gateway, provide both PowerShell and Azure CLI examples to ensure parity for Linux/macOS users.
- Where possible, avoid implying Windows Server is the default or only supported option for on-premises VPN appliances.
- Consider adding a brief note or table listing popular cross-platform VPN devices and linking to Azure's tested devices list, highlighting both Windows and Linux options.
