Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows and PowerShell. All command-line examples use Azure PowerShell cmdlets, with no mention of Linux-native tools, Bash, or cross-platform alternatives. The instructions assume the reader is using PowerShell, and even the authentication and REST API invocation steps rely on PowerShell-specific modules. Azure Storage Explorer is suggested as a GUI tool, which is cross-platform, but no CLI alternatives (such as azcopy or Azure CLI) are mentioned. There are no Bash, curl, or Azure CLI examples, and no guidance for Linux or macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent examples using Azure CLI (az) for all steps, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux/macOS.
  • Include REST API invocation examples using curl or httpie, which are standard tools on Linux/macOS.
  • Add Bash script examples for setting variables and authenticating, alongside PowerShell.
  • Mention azcopy as a CLI alternative to Azure Storage Explorer for file operations.
  • Explicitly state platform requirements and offer guidance for both Windows and Linux/macOS users.
  • Reorganize the documentation so that cross-platform tools (Azure CLI, REST API via curl) are presented before or alongside PowerShell.
