@wmgries Will, do you know who might be able to help with this question?

[RicksterCDN]

this is best answered by @msjuergent and his team - they are the original author of the document and handle SAP configurations on Azure.

@matheus-santoro Unfortunately, using Azure Files is not yet supported for hosting sapmnt or the trans directory of an highly available SAP system.
