Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented towards Windows environments, with all examples and tooling based on Windows-only utilities (SSMS, dtutil, cmdkey, net use, DOS batch scripting). There are no Linux/macOS equivalents or instructions, and all workflows assume access to Windows tools and patterns. This creates significant friction for users on non-Windows platforms.
Recommendations
  • Provide guidance for Linux/macOS users, including alternative tools or methods for package management (e.g., Azure CLI, REST API, or cross-platform SQL clients).
  • Document how to interact with Azure Files from Linux/macOS (e.g., using SMB mounts, azcopy, or other supported utilities).
  • Clarify whether dtutil or SSMS can be run in a container or via Wine, or suggest alternatives for non-Windows environments.
  • Add explicit notes about platform requirements and limitations, so non-Windows users are aware of what is and isn't supported.
  • Where possible, offer cross-platform scripts or workflows, or link to official Microsoft guidance for Linux/macOS users.
