Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. AzCopy is described as a Windows-only utility, and all usage instructions and examples assume a Windows environment (Command Prompt, Windows file paths, and installation locations). PowerShell is referenced as the primary scripting method, with screenshots and instructions focused on Windows tools. There are no examples or guidance for Linux or macOS users, nor any mention of cross-platform alternatives or parity.
Recommendations
- Update the documentation to reference AzCopy v10+, which is cross-platform and available for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
- Provide Linux and macOS installation instructions for AzCopy, including download links and example commands.
- Include example commands for uploading VHD files using AzCopy on Linux/macOS (e.g., bash shell examples).
- Mention and demonstrate how to use Azure CLI or REST API for VHD uploads as platform-agnostic alternatives.
- Avoid referring to AzCopy as 'Windows-only' and clarify which versions are cross-platform.
- Add screenshots and instructions for non-Windows environments where relevant.
