Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as Azure File Sync, which is only available for Windows servers) are highlighted, often with no Linux equivalent mentioned. PowerShell is frequently referenced, sometimes before or instead of cross-platform tools like Azure CLI. Windows Server and SMB (a protocol most closely associated with Windows) are discussed in detail, while Linux/NFS features are mentioned less frequently and often as secondary. There are also cases where examples or instructions are only provided for Windows or Windows tools, with Linux equivalents missing or less emphasized.
Recommendations:
- Wherever PowerShell is mentioned, ensure Azure CLI (which is cross-platform) is also referenced equally and examples are provided for both.
- When introducing features or tools (such as Azure File Sync), clarify platform support and, if not available for Linux, suggest alternative solutions or explicitly state the limitation.
- For every Windows/SMB example or feature, provide a Linux/NFS equivalent where possible, and ensure Linux/NFS features are not consistently presented after Windows/SMB ones.
- In lists or instructions, avoid always mentioning Windows or Windows tools first; alternate or group by platform.
- Expand documentation and guidance for Linux administrators, including more detailed examples and troubleshooting for Linux/NFS scenarios.
- Where features are Windows-only, clearly label them as such and provide links to Linux-relevant documentation.
