Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows Server and Windows OS in recommendations, focusing on Windows-centric tools (such as Azure File Sync, which only works on Windows Server), and referencing PowerShell and Windows authentication mechanisms more prominently. Linux is mentioned, but often as a secondary consideration, and there are few, if any, Linux-specific examples or tool recommendations. The documentation also lacks parity in migration and management tool coverage for Linux environments.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-specific examples and workflows alongside Windows ones, especially for mounting, authentication, and management.
- Include Linux-native tools (e.g., rsync, NFS migration tools) in migration and backup scenarios.
- Balance the order of OS mentions in tables and recommendations (e.g., list Linux and Windows together or alternate which comes first).
- Highlight Linux support and limitations for Azure File Sync or suggest alternative Linux-compatible caching solutions.
- Offer CLI/bash examples in addition to PowerShell for common operations.
- Clarify when features or tools are Windows-only and suggest Linux alternatives where possible.
