Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows-native tools (robocopy, xcopy, Azure File Sync) and migration scenarios from Windows file servers. Powershell/Windows tools are mentioned before Linux equivalents, and Linux-specific tools or workflows are underrepresented or missing. There are no explicit Linux/NFS migration examples or Linux-native tool recommendations, despite mentioning rsync in passing.
Recommendations:
- Provide balanced examples for both Windows and Linux environments, including explicit Linux/NFS migration scenarios.
- List Linux-native tools (e.g., rsync, scp, tar, lftp) alongside Windows tools, and give equal detail and prominence.
- Include guidance for migrating from Linux file servers (e.g., NFS exports) to Azure Files or Blob Storage.
- Mention and link to Linux-specific Azure migration agents or scripts, if available.
- Avoid recommending Windows tools (robocopy, xcopy, Azure File Sync) as defaults; instead, present options for both OSes in parallel.
- Add sample command lines or scripts for both Windows and Linux migration workflows.
