Summary
The documentation demonstrates a subtle Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific tools and workflows first, such as Notepad for file creation and 'command prompt with administrator privileges' for installing Python packages. There are no explicit Linux or macOS alternatives provided for these steps, nor are cross-platform instructions given for file creation or terminal usage. The only tool mentioned for interacting with Azure Blob Storage is Azure Storage Explorer, which is cross-platform but is presented without alternatives. No PowerShell-specific commands or Windows-only tools are used, but the overall workflow assumes a Windows environment.
Recommendations
  • Provide cross-platform instructions for creating the input file, e.g., using 'nano', 'vim', or 'touch' on Linux/macOS.
  • Replace 'command prompt with administrator privileges' with 'terminal or command prompt' and clarify that administrator privileges are only needed if required by the user's environment.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure Storage Explorer is available on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and suggest alternatives such as the Azure CLI or azcopy for users who prefer command-line tools.
  • Add notes or examples for Linux/macOS users where workflows differ (e.g., file paths, environment setup).
  • Ensure all steps are platform-neutral or provide platform-specific instructions in parallel.
