Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All mounting instructions, code samples, and troubleshooting steps are exclusively for Windows environments, using Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, net use, setspn, Active Directory DNS Manager). There are no examples, commands, or guidance for mounting Azure SMB file shares from Linux or macOS clients, nor is there mention of Linux authentication patterns or tools.
Recommendations:
- Add a dedicated section for mounting Azure SMB file shares from Linux clients, including examples using the 'mount.cifs' command and relevant authentication options.
- Provide Linux-specific prerequisites, such as required packages (e.g., cifs-utils), and guidance on Kerberos configuration for identity-based access.
- Include troubleshooting steps and links relevant to Linux environments.
- Mention macOS support or limitations, if applicable.
- Ensure that examples for both Windows and Linux are presented in parallel or with equal prominence, rather than Windows-first.
- Reference cross-platform tools and patterns where possible, and clarify any Windows-only limitations.
