Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing SMB (a Windows-native protocol) in examples and explanations, mentioning SMB before NFS (the Linux/UNIX equivalent) throughout. There are no explicit Linux command-line or shell examples, and the documentation does not provide parity in terms of Linux-specific tooling or workflows. The focus on Azure portal GUI and SMB shares, with NFS only mentioned as an alternative, further reinforces this bias.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-specific examples, such as using NFS as the primary example or showing both SMB and NFS usage equally.
- Include command-line examples for both Windows (PowerShell) and Linux (bash/shell) environments for provisioning and mounting storage.
- Clarify that both SMB and NFS are supported equally, and provide guidance for Linux-first users, including troubleshooting tips for NFS.
- Add references to Linux-native tools (e.g., mount, exportfs, etc.) and workflows for managing storage.
- Balance the order of presentation so that NFS and Linux-native methods are not always secondary to SMB/Windows methods.
