Summary
The documentation mentions both Windows and Linux VMs as prerequisites and notes that Azure NetApp Files supports both SMB (Windows) and NFS (Linux) protocols. However, the examples and instructions for mounting shares are generic and do not provide explicit command-line examples for either platform. The SMB (Windows) workflow is described first, and the NFS (Linux) workflow is described second, but neither includes concrete mounting steps or commands. There is a slight Windows-first bias in ordering and terminology, and the lack of Linux-specific examples (such as mount commands or /etc/fstab entries) limits Linux parity.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit mounting instructions and examples for both Windows (using net use or PowerShell) and Linux (using mount command and /etc/fstab).
- Ensure that Linux examples (NFS mounting) are given equal prominence and detail as Windows examples (SMB mapping).
- Consider alternating the order of Windows and Linux instructions or presenting them side-by-side for parity.
- Include troubleshooting tips for both platforms, not just generic guidance.
