Summary
The documentation provides parity between Azure Portal, PowerShell, and Azure CLI for all major operations. However, there is a noticeable bias toward Windows/PowerShell: PowerShell is given equal prominence to Azure CLI, despite being primarily a Windows tool, and all scripting examples use PowerShell or Azure CLI, with no mention of Bash, Linux shell, or cross-platform scripting patterns. Additionally, references to running PowerShell locally and using Windows-centric tools (e.g., Storage Explorer) appear before or without Linux alternatives. There is no explicit mention of Linux-specific instructions, nor are Bash examples provided, which may disadvantage Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Bash examples for Azure CLI commands, demonstrating usage in Linux/macOS terminals.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI commands are cross-platform and can be run natively on Linux/macOS, not just in Cloud Shell.
  • Mention Linux-native tools for blob access (e.g., azcopy, curl, or s3cmd) alongside Storage Explorer.
  • Include instructions for installing and using Azure CLI on Linux/macOS, with links to relevant documentation.
  • Avoid presenting PowerShell as the default scripting option; instead, highlight Azure CLI and Bash as first-class, cross-platform choices.
  • Where PowerShell is referenced, add notes about its availability on Linux/macOS, or suggest Bash/CLI alternatives.
