Summary
The documentation provides both Bash/cURL and PowerShell/Invoke-WebRequest examples for interacting with HDInsight's REST API, but consistently lists PowerShell (Windows) examples before Bash (Linux) ones, and gives more detailed explanations for Windows credential handling. The use of Windows-specific tools (Invoke-WebRequest, Get-Credential) is prominent, and some steps (like credential preservation) are more user-friendly for Windows users. There is a minor bias toward Windows in ordering and tool selection, though Linux examples are present.
Recommendations
  • Alternate the order of Bash and PowerShell examples, or present Bash examples first to balance visibility.
  • Provide equally detailed explanations for Bash/Linux credential handling and environment setup.
  • Include notes on using cURL and jq on native Linux systems, not just WSL.
  • Where possible, use cross-platform tools (e.g., cURL, Azure CLI) as primary examples, relegating platform-specific tools to secondary notes.
  • Clarify that all examples work on both Linux and Windows (with WSL), and provide troubleshooting tips for common Linux issues.
  • Ensure parity in the depth of explanation and user experience for both platforms, especially for authentication and environment setup.
