Summary
The documentation provides detailed instructions and code samples for Azure Portal, Azure CLI, and PowerShell. However, the PowerShell examples are prominent and include Windows-specific paths (e.g., D:\testFiles), and there is no mention of Linux shell scripting or cross-platform alternatives for tasks like file uploads. The PowerShell section assumes a Windows environment, and there are no explicit Bash or Linux-native examples for common operations (such as uploading files to Azure Storage). Additionally, PowerShell is referenced as being usable in the Azure Cloud Shell (which is cross-platform), but the examples and file paths are still Windows-centric. There is also no mention of Linux tools or patterns, and the documentation does not provide parity for Linux users in several steps.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Bash/Linux shell examples for all tasks, especially for file operations (e.g., uploading files to Azure Storage using az storage blob upload or azcopy).
  • Replace or supplement Windows file paths (e.g., D:\testFiles) with Linux equivalents (e.g., /home/user/testFiles) in code samples.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI and PowerShell can be used on both Windows and Linux, and provide guidance for setting up environments on both platforms.
  • Where PowerShell is referenced, include Bash alternatives or note that the same can be accomplished with Azure CLI commands.
  • Ensure that all instructions and screenshots are not Windows-specific, or provide Linux equivalents where applicable.
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform tools (e.g., azcopy, Azure CLI) and provide links to their installation and usage guides for Linux.
