Summary
The documentation is exclusively focused on installing and managing the Azure File Sync agent on Arc-enabled Windows Servers. It explicitly states that the agent and extension are only supported on Windows, with no support or examples for Linux or macOS. All instructions, examples, and configuration options are tailored to Windows environments, including Windows-specific paths, services, and tools. There are no Linux equivalents or alternative guidance for non-Windows platforms.
Recommendations
- Clearly state Windows-only support at the top of the documentation and in the title, which is already done, but consider linking to alternative solutions for Linux users if available.
- If Azure File Sync or similar functionality is planned for Linux, provide a roadmap or guidance for Linux users.
- Add a comparison table or FAQ section that addresses cross-platform support and alternatives for Linux/macOS.
- Where possible, provide links to Azure Arc documentation for Linux servers, even if Azure File Sync is not supported, to help users find relevant information.
