Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation page for Azure NetApp Files 'What's New' shows a moderate Windows bias. Windows-centric features (Active Directory, SMB, Windows Server, Windows File Explorer, FSLogix, Citrix App Layering, Azure VMware Solution) are frequently mentioned, often with detailed explanations and use cases. Windows tools and patterns (SMB, NTFS, Windows File Explorer) are referenced more often and sometimes before Linux/NFS equivalents. Some features (e.g., Access-based Enumeration, Non-browsable shares, SMB Continuous Availability) are described primarily in Windows terms, with limited or no Linux/NFS examples. However, there are also Linux-focused enhancements (NFS, LDAP, FreeIPA, OpenLDAP, AzAcSnap), and dual-protocol support is highlighted, showing some effort toward parity.
Recommendations
- For every Windows/SMB example or feature, provide equivalent Linux/NFS examples and use cases.
- When describing features (e.g., Access-based Enumeration, Non-browsable shares), include instructions and expected behavior for Linux/NFS clients.
- Avoid presenting Windows tools or workflows first; alternate or parallelize Windows and Linux examples.
- Expand documentation for Linux identity and authentication integrations (e.g., FreeIPA, OpenLDAP) with practical configuration steps.
- Ensure that troubleshooting and reporting features (e.g., quota reporting, file access logs) include Linux/NFS usage scenarios.
- Where features are Windows-only, clearly state this and suggest Linux alternatives if available.
