Summary:
The documentation is exclusively focused on Windows environments, both in prerequisites and all example commands. It explicitly states that Azure File Sync is only supported on Windows, and all instructions, settings, and validation steps are tailored for Windows servers. There are no Linux equivalents, examples, or even mentions of Linux support or alternatives. All tooling and patterns (e.g., PowerShell, Windows file paths, Windows services) are Windows-centric, and Linux is only mentioned to clarify lack of support.
Recommendations:
- If Azure File Sync is not supported on Linux, clearly state this at the top and consider providing links to alternative solutions for Linux file sync scenarios (e.g., Azure File NFS, rsync, third-party tools).
- If Linux support is planned or possible in the future, add a section outlining current limitations and a roadmap or workaround for Linux users.
- Where possible, generalize Azure CLI examples to clarify which steps are cross-platform, and explicitly note which commands or features are Windows-only.
- Provide a comparison table or FAQ addressing common Linux administrator questions (e.g., 'What should I use if I have Linux servers?').
- Avoid using Windows-specific terminology (like C:\ paths, Programs and Features, FileSyncSvc) in generalized sections, or clearly scope them as Windows-only.
