Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. It exclusively recommends and demonstrates the use of RoboCopy, a Windows-only tool, for migrating to Azure Files. All examples, mounting instructions, and optimization tips are tailored to Windows Server and PowerShell. There is no mention of equivalent Linux tools or workflows, nor are there any Linux-specific examples or guidance, despite the initial checklist noting Linux servers as possible sources.
Recommendations:
- Include Linux migration options, such as using rsync, smbclient, or mount.cifs for SMB-based transfers to Azure Files.
- Provide parallel Linux command-line examples for mounting Azure file shares and copying data.
- Discuss the limitations and considerations for Linux-based SMB clients when migrating to Azure Files.
- Reference or link to Linux-specific documentation for Azure Files migrations.
- Clarify in the introduction that the guide is Windows-specific, or create a separate Linux migration guide for parity.
- Mention cross-platform tools (e.g., AzCopy, where appropriate) and their usage from Linux environments, even if with caveats.
