Summary
The documentation is heavily Windows-centric, focusing almost exclusively on the Azure Storage Emulator, which only runs on Windows. All usage instructions, examples, and tooling references (such as SQL Server LocalDB, Windows authentication, Windows Start menu, and Azure PowerShell) are Windows-specific. There are no Linux or cross-platform usage examples, and Linux alternatives (Azurite) are mentioned only as a deprecated emulator replacement, without parity in examples or instructions.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux/macOS instructions and examples for local Azure Storage development using Azurite.
- Include command-line examples for Azurite (npm, Docker) and demonstrate usage on Linux/macOS.
- Offer sample authentication and connection string usage for Azurite, including how to generate SAS tokens without PowerShell.
- Highlight cross-platform tools (e.g., Storage Explorer) and clarify which features work with Azurite.
- Reorganize the page to present Azurite as the primary emulator, with Storage Emulator as legacy/Windows-only.
- Add a comparison table of features and platform support between Storage Emulator and Azurite.
