Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by presenting PowerShell examples first and in greater detail, using Windows-centric variable syntax and tools (e.g., 'set' for environment variables), and referencing Visual Studio for C#. The Azure CLI section is written for Windows CMD, with only a brief mention that 'bash or other environments' require 'slight variations', but no actual bash/Linux examples are provided. There is no parity in Linux-specific instructions for Azure CLI or cluster creation, and the Python section is minimal compared to the extensive PowerShell walkthrough.
Recommendations
  • Provide Azure CLI examples using bash syntax (e.g., 'export VAR=value') alongside Windows CMD examples.
  • Include instructions for cluster creation using Azure CLI (not just PowerShell), with Linux shell commands.
  • Add Linux-specific notes or examples for file paths and environment setup, especially for Python and CLI usage.
  • Reference cross-platform editors (e.g., VS Code) in addition to Visual Studio for C# development.
  • Ensure all major workflows (SAS creation, cluster configuration) have both Windows and Linux command examples.
  • Explicitly call out differences in command usage between Windows and Linux environments, rather than assuming familiarity.
