Summary
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias throughout the migration workflow. All file copy examples use RoboCopy, a Windows-only tool, and the process explicitly requires provisioning a temporary Windows Server. There are no Linux-based migration examples, nor are Linux-native tools (such as rsync or cp) mentioned. Instructions for mounting Azure file shares and authentication focus on Windows environments, with only a passing reference to Linux in the context of VPN configuration. This creates a significant gap for users operating in Linux or mixed-OS environments.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux-based migration instructions, including examples using rsync, cp, or other common Linux file copy tools.
- Describe how to mount Azure file shares from Linux systems (e.g., using cifs-utils or NFS where supported), and reference relevant Azure documentation for Linux clients.
- Include a section on preparing a temporary Linux server for the migration, with guidance on sizing, authentication, and permissions.
- Where RoboCopy is recommended, offer parallel Linux-native command-line examples and discuss any limitations (e.g., NTFS ACL preservation).
- Ensure that troubleshooting and performance tuning advice covers both Windows and Linux environments.
- Reorganize sections so that Windows and Linux approaches are presented in parallel or with equal prominence, rather than Windows-first.
