Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented towards Windows environments, with all examples and instructions assuming the use of Windows tools such as SSMS, dtutil, cmdkey, net use, and DOS batch scripting. There is no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives, and no guidance is provided for users operating from Linux or macOS systems.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent instructions and examples for Linux environments, including how to connect to Azure Files (e.g., using SMB mounting on Linux) and how to run dtutil if available or alternatives for package deployment.
  • Mention whether SSMS and dtutil are available or supported on non-Windows platforms, and if not, suggest workarounds or alternative tools (such as Azure Data Studio or REST APIs).
  • Include PowerShell Core (cross-platform) or Bash script examples where possible, especially for batch operations.
  • Clarify any platform limitations explicitly at the start of the documentation, so Linux/macOS users know what is and isn't supported.
  • If certain features are Windows-only, provide links or references to cross-platform approaches for managing SSIS packages in Azure.

Flagged Code Snippets

REM Persist the access credentials for Azure Files on your local machine
cmdkey /ADD:YourStorageAccountName.file.core.windows.net /USER:azure\YourStorageAccountName /PASS:YourStorageAccountKey

REM Connect Azure Files to a drive on your local machine
net use Z: \\YourStorageAccountName.file.core.windows.net\YourFileShare /PERSISTENT:Yes

REM Go to a local folder where you store your packages
cd YourLocalDrive:\...\YourPackageFolder

REM Run dtutil in a loop to deploy your packages from the local folder into Azure Files while switching their protection level
