Summary

The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias primarily through the exclusive mention of Azure PowerShell for setting blob tiers, without providing equivalent Linux/CLI examples. The instructions for moving data to the Archive tier list PowerShell before mentioning Azure Lifecycle Management, and do not reference cross-platform tools such as Azure CLI or REST API. There are no Linux-specific examples or references to Linux tools, and the documentation does not clarify how users on Linux or macOS should perform these operations.

Recommendations

Add Azure CLI examples for setting blob tiers and managing lifecycle policies, alongside PowerShell instructions.
Explicitly mention that operations can be performed from Linux/macOS using Azure CLI or REST API, and provide links or code samples.
Ensure that any scripting or automation examples are provided in both PowerShell and Bash/CLI formats.
Clarify that SMB and NFS protocols are cross-platform, and provide example commands for mounting shares on Linux.
Review all step-by-step instructions to ensure Linux parity and avoid assuming a Windows-only environment.
