Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a subtle Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific tools (Azure Storage Explorer) and providing instructions that are either Windows-centric or lack Linux alternatives. The only tool-specific example for generating a SAS is linked with a Windows tab, and there is no mention of Linux-native tools or cross-platform alternatives for file upload or SAS generation. All command-line examples use Azure CLI, which is cross-platform, but the supporting tooling and workflow references are Windows-first.
Recommendations:
- Include explicit instructions or links for performing key tasks (such as uploading files and generating SAS tokens) using Linux-native tools (e.g., Azure CLI, azcopy, or REST API) alongside Storage Explorer.
- When referencing GUI tools like Azure Storage Explorer, clarify their cross-platform availability and provide screenshots or instructions for both Windows and Linux (and macOS) where applicable.
- Avoid linking to documentation with Windows-specific tabs by default; ensure parity by linking to generic or cross-platform instructions.
- Mention and provide examples for using azcopy or Azure CLI for file uploads and SAS generation, which are fully cross-platform.
- Audit all steps to ensure that Linux users are not left to infer or research alternative workflows.
