Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. AzCopy is described as a Windows-only tool, and all instructions and examples are tailored for Windows environments (Command Prompt, Windows file paths, PowerShell references). There are no Linux or cross-platform alternatives or examples provided, and Linux users are not addressed. The use of PowerShell and Windows-centric screenshots further reinforces the bias.
Recommendations
- Clarify whether AzCopy v10+ is cross-platform (it is, for modern versions) and update the note accordingly.
- Provide Linux and macOS installation instructions for AzCopy.
- Include example commands for Linux/macOS terminals (e.g., Bash), using appropriate syntax and file paths.
- Mention and demonstrate how to use AzCopy on non-Windows platforms, including how to add it to the PATH and run commands.
- Replace or supplement PowerShell-specific instructions and screenshots with Azure CLI or Bash alternatives.
- Ensure that references to uploading VHDs via PowerShell are balanced with Azure CLI or REST API options.
