Summary:
The documentation exclusively describes file migration using Robocopy, a Windows-only tool, and instructs users to deploy a Windows VM. There are no Linux or cross-platform alternatives or examples provided, nor is there mention of Linux-compatible tools or procedures. The guidance is entirely Windows-centric, with no parity for Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Include instructions for performing SMB file share migrations from a Linux VM, using tools such as rsync, smbclient, or mount.cifs.
- Provide example Linux command-line workflows for mounting Azure SMB shares and copying data.
- Mention cross-platform tools (e.g., AzCopy, if applicable) and clarify their suitability for SMB file shares.
- Structure the documentation to present both Windows and Linux options, or at least acknowledge Linux as a supported platform for such migrations.
- Add a section comparing the pros and cons of Windows and Linux migration approaches, including performance and compatibility notes.
