Summary
The documentation demonstrates subtle Windows bias. In the prerequisites, the only linked example for uploading a VHD image to Azure Storage is specifically for Windows (the link includes '?tabs=windows'), with no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives. There are no command-line examples (PowerShell, CLI, Bash), but where tooling is referenced (e.g., AzCopy), it is not clarified that it is cross-platform, nor are Linux-specific instructions or screenshots provided. The documentation refers to 'OS type' as Windows or Linux, but all workflow and screenshots are generic and portal-based, not showing parity for Linux users or tools.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux instructions or links alongside Windows ones, especially for tasks like uploading VHDs (e.g., using AzCopy on Linux or Azure CLI).
  • When referencing tools like AzCopy, clarify their cross-platform availability and provide usage examples for both Windows and Linux.
  • If using screenshots or UI walkthroughs, ensure that any OS-specific steps (such as file path formats or shell commands) are represented for both Windows and Linux.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific query parameters (like '?tabs=windows') in links without also providing a Linux tab or equivalent.
  • Consider including a section or callout for Linux users, highlighting any differences or confirming full parity.
