Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows tools (Robocopy, PowerShell cmdlets) are mentioned by name and with detailed usage before their Linux equivalents. Windows-specific instructions and tools (e.g., Robocopy, 'Get-AzStorageAccountKey', 'net use', PowerShell) are given prominence and more detailed explanation, while Linux tools (rsync, fpsync) are mentioned but with less depth and sometimes only as alternatives. In some cases, Windows tools are referenced in the main text or 'See also' section without equal Linux coverage. The troubleshooting and verification steps also mention Windows commands first or in more detail.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Linux tools (rsync, fpsync) are given equal prominence and detailed explanation as Robocopy, including advanced usage examples and troubleshooting.
  • When listing tools or procedures, alternate the order (sometimes Linux first) or present both platforms in parallel to avoid 'windows_first' bias.
  • Provide PowerShell and Bash/Linux CLI equivalents for all commands (e.g., retrieving storage account keys, mounting shares) and link to relevant Linux documentation where appropriate.
  • Expand the 'See also' section to include more Linux-focused migration and troubleshooting resources, not just Robocopy or Windows-centric links.
  • Where possible, avoid assuming Windows as the default platform (e.g., in migration tool recommendations or step-by-step guides).
