Summary:
The documentation generally avoids OS-specific instructions, but in the Azure Files section, it lists Azure PowerShell and Windows-centric tools (e.g., Azure File Sync, which is Windows-only) as primary options for file replication and sync. There is a lack of parity in mentioning or providing Linux/CLI alternatives, and the sample script referenced is likely Windows-focused. The order of tools (AzCopy, PowerShell, Data Factory) also puts Windows tools before cross-platform or Linux-native options.
Recommendations:
- For every mention of Azure PowerShell or Windows-specific tools (such as Azure File Sync), explicitly mention and provide equivalent Azure CLI or Linux-native alternatives where available.
- In the Azure Files section, clarify which tools are cross-platform (e.g., AzCopy, Azure CLI) and provide example commands for both Windows and Linux environments.
- If referencing sample scripts, ensure there are both PowerShell and Bash (or Python) examples, or at least clarify the OS compatibility of the scripts.
- When listing tools or approaches, avoid always listing Windows/PowerShell options first; alternate or group by platform.
- For features like Azure File Sync, clearly state that it is Windows-only and suggest alternative approaches for Linux-based file servers (e.g., rsync with AzCopy, or third-party solutions).
