Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation for Azure NetApp Files demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Features and enhancements related to Windows environments (such as SMB, Active Directory, Windows Server, and Windows-specific tools like File Explorer) are frequently highlighted, often with more detail or before Linux/NFS equivalents. Several features (e.g., Access-based Enumeration, Non-browsable shares, SMB Continuous Availability, integration with Windows Server domain controllers) are described primarily in Windows terms, and references to Windows tools and patterns (such as File Explorer, NTFS, and Active Directory) are common. While Linux/NFS features are present, examples and explanations for Linux are less frequent or less detailed, and Linux tooling is rarely mentioned explicitly. Powershell or Windows-centric configuration patterns are referenced, but Linux CLI or shell examples are missing. Some features (e.g., troubleshooting tools, restore operations) mention Windows workflows or tools without Linux parity.
Recommendations
- Ensure every Windows/SMB feature description is paired with an equivalent Linux/NFS example or explanation, where applicable.
- When referencing Windows tools (e.g., File Explorer), also mention Linux alternatives (e.g., Nautilus, CLI commands).
- Provide Linux-specific configuration and troubleshooting examples (e.g., shell commands, NFS mount options, LDAP integration steps) alongside Powershell or Windows GUI instructions.
- Highlight Linux/NFS features with equal prominence and detail as Windows/SMB features.
- Include explicit references to Linux tools and patterns (e.g., mount, chown, ls, systemd, etc.) in relevant sections.
- Review feature introductions to avoid consistently listing Windows/SMB features before Linux/NFS features; alternate order or present both together.
- Add troubleshooting guidance for Linux environments, not just Windows/Active Directory scenarios.
- Where features are Windows-only, clearly state Linux/NFS limitations or alternatives.
