Summary
The documentation exhibits several Windows biases: PowerShell is the primary CLI shown for both Windows and Linux workflows, with no Bash or Linux-native CLI examples for AzCopy or VM management. Windows instructions and links are presented before Linux equivalents in most sections. The AzCopy usage and output are shown exclusively in a Windows/PowerShell context, with paths and screenshots from Windows. There are no Linux shell examples for downloading or copying VHDs, nor is there guidance for Linux users on running AzCopy. The 'Next steps' section also lists PowerShell deployment before Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Provide Bash/Linux shell examples for AzCopy usage, including installation and command syntax on Linux.
  • Include screenshots or sample output from Linux terminals alongside Windows/PowerShell examples.
  • Present Windows and Linux instructions in parallel, or alternate which OS is presented first in each section.
  • Add explicit guidance for Linux users on connecting to VMs, managing disks, and running AzCopy, including common Linux paths and environment considerations.
  • Ensure that links to Linux-specific documentation are as prominent and accessible as Windows/PowerShell links.
  • Clarify that AzCopy is cross-platform and provide OS-specific installation instructions.
