Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows-centric tools (PowerShell, Azure Storage Explorer) are listed before or more prominently than Linux equivalents; PowerShell is frequently referenced for command-line operations, with no explicit Bash or Linux shell examples; Windows tools and patterns (e.g., Azure portal, PowerShell) are often mentioned first in tables and lists; and there is a lack of explicit Linux or Bash command examples, even though cross-platform tools like Azure CLI and AzCopy are referenced.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit Linux/Bash shell examples alongside PowerShell for command-line operations.
- Ensure Azure CLI examples are given equal prominence to PowerShell, and clarify cross-platform compatibility.
- Mention Linux-native tools (e.g., Bash scripts, cron jobs) where relevant, especially for automation and ingestion.
- List cross-platform tools (AzCopy, Azure CLI, REST) before Windows-specific tools in tables and lists.
- Include guidance for using Azure Data Lake Storage from Linux environments, such as mounting via NFS or using Linux SDKs.
- Clarify that Azure Storage Explorer and AzCopy are cross-platform, and provide installation/use instructions for Linux.
- Add references to Linux-based orchestration tools (e.g., systemd, cron) for automation and monitoring.
