Summary
The documentation page shows evidence of Windows bias primarily through its references to the Azurite storage emulator and the Storage Emulator, both of which are historically Windows-centric tools. The instructions for local development and debugging mention the Storage Emulator without clarifying Linux alternatives or providing parity for Linux users. Additionally, while Azure CLI is used for most examples (which is cross-platform), PowerShell is mentioned as an alternative for creating Event Grid topics before the Azure portal, which may suggest a Windows-first mindset. There are no explicit Linux-specific instructions or troubleshooting tips, and the documentation does not mention Linux-compatible storage emulators or provide guidance for Linux users where Windows tools are referenced.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly mention and provide instructions for using Azurite on Linux and macOS, including installation and startup commands.
  • Remove or clarify references to the legacy Storage Emulator, noting that it is Windows-only and recommending Azurite for cross-platform scenarios.
  • When listing alternatives for resource creation (e.g., Event Grid topic), mention Azure CLI and Azure portal before PowerShell to avoid Windows-first ordering.
  • Add troubleshooting notes or links for common Linux issues (e.g., file permissions, port conflicts) when running local emulators.
  • Ensure all sample commands and configuration steps are verified to work on Linux, and note any platform-specific differences.
