Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias, with PowerShell and Windows-specific tooling (Az PowerShell modules, AzFilesSmbMIClient) featured exclusively and prominently in initial setup and configuration sections. Windows instructions and examples are often presented before Linux equivalents, and the prerequisites and initial steps are entirely Windows/PowerShell-centric. Linux instructions are present and reasonably detailed, but users must scroll past extensive Windows content to reach them. There is no parity in command-line tooling: Windows uses PowerShell and a dedicated client, while Linux uses bash and different packages.
Recommendations
- Add Azure CLI examples for storage account and file share setup, which work cross-platform.
- Present Windows and Linux instructions in parallel (side-by-side tabs) from the start, especially in prerequisites and setup sections.
- Include Linux equivalents for all PowerShell commands, such as using Azure CLI or REST API for resource creation and configuration.
- Explicitly mention cross-platform alternatives to PowerShell for users on Linux/macOS.
- Consider starting with a platform-neutral overview before diving into OS-specific steps.
