Summary
The documentation page generally maintains cross-platform parity, with most examples and instructions using Linux/Unix conventions (e.g., SSH, Bash, HDFS CLI). However, in the 'Access files from outside cluster' section, Windows-specific tools (Azure PowerShell) are listed, and AzCopy is noted as available only on Windows and Linux, with OS X omitted. Azure PowerShell is presented as a Windows-only tool, and the table lists Windows last, but the presence of a Windows-only tool (Azure PowerShell) without a Linux equivalent may suggest a slight Windows bias in tooling recommendations.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux equivalents or alternatives for Azure PowerShell tasks, such as using Azure CLI or REST API.
  • Clarify that AzCopy is available on Linux and Windows, and note any OS X alternatives or limitations.
  • If possible, include example commands for both Linux and Windows environments where differences exist.
  • Ensure that tooling recommendations do not favor Windows-only tools unless absolutely necessary, and always mention cross-platform options first.
