Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. AzCopy is described as a Windows-only tool, and all instructions and examples assume a Windows environment (e.g., Command Prompt, Windows file paths, PowerShell references). There are no Linux or macOS equivalents or instructions, and PowerShell is mentioned as the primary automation method. No alternative cross-platform tools or methods are suggested.
Recommendations
- Update the documentation to clarify the current cross-platform status of AzCopy (AzCopy v10+ is cross-platform and available on Linux/macOS).
- Provide Linux and macOS installation instructions for AzCopy, including package manager commands (e.g., apt, yum, Homebrew).
- Add example commands for uploading VHD files using AzCopy on Linux/macOS terminals (bash/zsh), including path conventions.
- Include automation examples using Bash scripts or Azure CLI, not just PowerShell.
- Remove or update statements that incorrectly claim AzCopy is Windows-only.
- Ensure screenshots and step-by-step instructions are not exclusively Windows-centric.
