Summary
The documentation lists Azure built-in roles in a platform-neutral manner, but there are several roles and descriptions that reference Windows-specific technologies (e.g., Windows Admin Center, Windows 365, NTFS permissions, SMB, Azure Stack HCI, SCVMM) without mentioning Linux/macOS equivalents. Windows-centric roles and terminology appear throughout, especially in Compute, Storage, and Hybrid + Multicloud sections. However, there are also roles for Linux-centric technologies (e.g., Azure Red Hat OpenShift, Kubernetes), and no examples or instructions are given that would exclude Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
- Where Windows-specific tools or technologies are referenced (e.g., Windows Admin Center, NTFS, SMB), add equivalent Linux/macOS role descriptions or clarify Linux support.
- For roles that mention Windows file server equivalents, add notes about Linux file server mappings or clarify if none exist.
- Ensure parity in role descriptions for hybrid/multicloud scenarios, mentioning Linux-based solutions (e.g., Linux VMs, Linux admin tools) alongside Windows.
- Consider adding a section or table summarizing platform-specific roles and their cross-platform applicability.
- Review and update terminology to avoid Windows-first impressions, e.g., list Linux and Windows technologies together where relevant.
