Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments. All migration steps, examples, and tooling (such as Robocopy, PowerShell cmdlets, and Storage Migration Service) are Windows-specific. There are no Linux or cross-platform examples, and the instructions assume the use of Windows Server VMs and Windows-native tools. Linux equivalents or alternatives are not mentioned or suggested.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Linux-based migration instructions, including how to mount Azure File Shares on Linux and use tools like rsync or azcopy for file transfer.
- Include examples using Azure CLI or Bash scripts in addition to PowerShell cmdlets.
- Mention and document any limitations or differences when using Azure File Sync with Linux-based file servers.
- List both Windows and Linux options for each migration scenario, or clarify if Azure File Sync is only supported on Windows (and state this explicitly at the top).
- If Robocopy is recommended, also suggest cross-platform tools (e.g., azcopy, rsync) and provide sample commands.
- When referencing Storage Migration Service, note that it is a Windows-only tool and suggest alternatives for non-Windows environments if available.
